Cyberspace: toggling my way across islands in great the white expanse
I tumbled over the side and uneasily tilt upwards
almost always just shy of toppling back over.
Brush my teeth while thinking of new posts
and e-mails and those thank-you notes
I haven’t written yet.
I toggle all day until I arrive home and yeah-
toggle all night till I tumble over sideways,
almost face downward, curl my feet round
each other and toggle in my head
till finally I fall asleep.

that is when you know you may have a problem...when you are toggling in your sleep....just saying...ha
ReplyDeleteif you toggle rather than snuggle
ReplyDeleteyou got the writer's dis ease
but you gotta keep on toggle
or the muse you will dis please
When you toggle, perhaps you can write your boggle! Xx
ReplyDeleteI am always thinking of new posts and yes, toggle it until you fall asleep ~ My muse is best though in the morning ~ Happy weekend ~

My father said I would go blind if I toggled too much.
ReplyDeleteHey! Toggling? In the sequence of tumble, tilt, topple, toggle, it could mean anything, but cyberspace's white expanse clinches it. Was this a riddle poem for dVerse at first? Neat stuff! (Not that I or anyone I know has this problem!)
ReplyDeleteHa, I should link it for the riddle. I'm lousy at them. Thanks for pointing out it might fit.
DeleteAh yes, I can empathize with this! Toggling seems to be a common affliction. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteThis is very delicate and nicely crafted La Tonya... Like the aesthetic of your site very much too... With Best Wishes Scott www.sotthastie.com
ReplyDeleteThank you, Scott. I spend way too much time online, and like we like our homes, I wanted my space to feel right. I'm glad you like it here.
DeleteSo beautiful and so true...we wear ourselves out and never seem to be totally disconnected. I can so relate to this.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I dont even know what toggling is! Do I do it often? hee hee. I do share disappearing into cyberspace for vast stretches of time.
ReplyDeleteToggling, do you have multiple screens open? Jumping from site to site? Think man with remote control. lol
DeleteAh yes! I toggle with multiple screens--I haven't started dreaming that way yet though!
ReplyDeleteWe do need to find spaces where we might be toggle-free!
ReplyDeleteAh, toggling ...I do try to toggle when I stuck and struggle with one side of brain, which creates the poems train...then I do Sudoku and piano play....:)
