PETER KROK
Remembering a Friend

               
(to Duke Decker)
I have no answer for the dusk; I have no answer for the smile that once sunned its healthy innocence on these green, sprawling Poconos. Alone, but never lonely, you'd sit rocking your dirty blond hair swaying with the rhythm of your caneback creaking rocking chair, your cat,Thurman, named after a New York catcher, swishing his whiskers in your fleshy palm. What boisterous friendliness you high-fived when I'd greet you Saturday at your tube clapping your famed Yankees smack the ball. “Attaboy – good catch – what a stop!” What enthusiasm you took along when with sweaty sweatshirt shoulders you pedaled the green roads of Windgap and Stroudsburg. What care you gave your garden plot that back yard you lathered into roots patient fingers sprinkling seeds for the always promised harvest, yet no August sun would crown your table proud globes of ripe tomatoes that twenty-fourth young summer.

JH - a common use of poetic contemplation is the elegy, a mourning of a frined or relative or someone great. The one to whom the elegy is offered usually exists only in the past; however the language of the poem may suggest/present active in the present.

Control Z
Wouldn't it be good if life came with a Ctrl Z button? If you had the chance to undo stuff If you didn't like the look of the way things were going Ctrl Z Undone. Great. Try again or maybe a Ctrl S - save button so you could save the state of play and go off and do something else for a while Ctrl O would let you open your life at exactly the same point were you left it before it all got a bit much and you did the Ctrl S safety valve thing C: \ filing cabinet \ life would be your limbo were you could stash your life till you wanted to come back to it and have another go Ctrl X - Ctrl V - Cut out the crap and paste the good things And when you've got it the way you want Ctrl P would print your script for you minus mistakes, the way it`s supposed to be Another bonus would be a built-in spell checker a little wavy red line would mysteriously appear and tell you what you were doing was a bit iffy It`s happened again My computer doesn't understand "iffy" Which is unfortunate, because so much of my life is So a defragmenter would be useful too Just click and your life would be optimised Just click to get rid of the orphaned files in your brain and make room for some new ones But life isn't like that You can`t just switch it off and on when you feel like it pity Alt+F4 - Shut down, or log on as a new user? If only Alt+F4 OK Please wait while your life shuts down............ It is now safe to switch off your life

offers a contemplation on life online thru examination of computer codes for life. The circularity of such a contemplation lends humor to what might seem a bizarre 'suicide' note. Don't worry...if he turns off he's only 'uv' - in unvirtual reality
