Alright I have been brutal to a few people. So it is pay back time... What do you think?

Question

It’s pretty clear at this point

That it does not work

But I salvage TV’s

Tube type

If it’s clear I don’t have a

grand knowledge of TV’s

Then it is clear I am not talking about TV’s

But either way it is not working

As I was saying I like the tube type

Because they seem lost

Like an 80’s hair band in 2002

Not so much 2008

They are kind of cool again.

But not so with the tube type

What am I talking about

That is the thing with these things

You never really know

Could be my marriage

But probably not

It seems to work

Like the Blues in any year

Could be me

Growing old

But I work

Maybe to hard

Like a tube type TV to still fit in

Just heavier then the rest

Rounder then the rest

Not quite as clear as the rest

Who knew I was talking about myself

Certainly not me

But that’s the thing with these things

Answer 1

Sorry, but honestly, I dont think I get it.

Answer 2

what? is it a poem?

Answer 3

Its umm good i guess but i have know clue what the poem is about and i think you could use a few more adjectives in your poem

Answer 4

yawn

sounds as if you are muttering to yourself as you stumble about

Answer 5

I thought it was well written.

Since you have been brutal I do have to point out the improper use of to instead of too and then instead of than.

I hate to digress in such a way, you did ask though.

I also thought the metaphor of the tubes was a bit redundant after a point.

It is very good, don't get me wrong. Just slinging some brutal.

Answer 6

Bukowski on a bender.

Answer 7

I just love to read the other answers before I endeavour to scribe.

I get it. You're a dying breed, out with the old, in with the new....

I haven't seen others write about such content so I applaud you for originality in thought. A bold and brave look at your own ageing...

I like the likeness qualities drawn back to the tube, the heaviness and the trying to fit in...

and then the denial in the end... very clever.

A unique perspective on ageing... Kudos!
