Just look up will you?
Tear your face from that screen;
blow fag ash off the keyboard
Notice anything different
since the time you last logged in?
Amid the fast food wrappers
that camoflauge your PC
the toast crusts and cheese
bottles and cans
festering with smoke butts
I hope you might see past
your own virtuality
Don't say 'wait a mo' at the screen
swivel the chair and look at me
I've changed alot between
the countless webs you
have been caught in
I smell different too
Will your twitching nose never sense
the scent of me falling apart
before your bowed head?
For once, just look up
so that you might better
appreciate my decomposure
more than your forum friends
Discard all those home delivered pizzas
which fuel your hard drive
Recall this silk tie I bought you
It doesn't make my butt look as fat
since I last draped it across my flesh
in a bid to drag your gaze to living me
See how I look now
Understand what you have become
I don't want to hang around anymore

Nice view through your window- love it!

Nothing like gettin' your skinny on and letting the hubby hang himself with his own cheeseburger grease stained tie. Not necessarily true- just suggesting...

[Delta40]

tee hee. thought I would hang myself for spending so much time in this place!

[Buh4Bee]

Gotcha'

What a repulsive image! If that man exists, I hope he chokes on an anchovy - if you've got to die, let it be with something revolting like fish!!!

Knowing that this is from your fertile imagination helps - I know I don't have to feel sorry for you! Can Jerry have the tie back now?

I loved this one!

A cleverly drawn image of the relationship between a web-widow (rather than a golf widow) and her darling husband - a bit more final than divorce though. Black humour at its darkest.

Loved the line -

.....all those home delivered pizzas

one just wonders how long before he does notice her demise.

This is really good, Delta. The rythm never falters and you have employed some delicious turns of phrase. Though the implication is that the Narrator is in fact a corpse, a rather macabre twist, the monologue would also serve, and possibly be more effective, if one just confines interpretation to the neglect described. I really enjoyed reading this one. Good on yer, sport. H
