Reached new depths of spectacular failure today <br />could not stay awake for a riveting discussion on <br />the French elections - and couldn't concentrate <br />on a stimulating news reel about endemic crime <br />in Marseilles <br /> <br />Nor express my joy in discovering Greek Robin <br />Hoods reconnecting electricity for the poor to save <br />their dignity or my delight in machines taking over <br />boring human jobs; it means seeking creative ways <br />to provide for our needs <br /> <br />My words fell into Sounds of Silence, even the star <br />pupil couldn't break the spell, impossibly failed to <br />express what he felt, amazing in-depth discussion <br />on intricate French election procedures, blood- <br />curdling stuff by the way - <br /> <br />Must have fried our brains, words and terms ran <br />away pursued by a voracious language plague, <br />chastised and deeply chagrined I can only cry about <br />the time wasted trying to prepare for a spell in the <br />darkest part of hell…<br /><br />Margaret Alice Second<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/chagrined-revised/
