SOCHI AND HOPETOWN
Vicarious and satisfying
Things we choose to view…
People want to see a show
That makes them feel brand new.
–
Something to celebrate life
Beyond our personal means…
Physical and beautiful,
Fulfilling of great dreams.
–
The Olympics, sure reality,
Although they are worlds away…
Making dreams more possible
If only for today.
–Jonathan Caswell
THE YEAR OF VOYEURS’ DELIGHT
On “COAST-TO-COAST-AM” and such*
We’re hearing so very much…
About piracy
Of privacy,
And how closely we can be touched.
–
Facebook, Google and more,
Our intimate details explore…
To sell us stuff
That interest enough
To help their dividends soar!
–
My own experience with Yahoo
Made escape the clear thing to do…
Scads of lonely women
Ads in which I was swimming,
After I had changed my status to “Married”, too.
–
It’s not just the N.S.A.
That hopes to get away…
With making you
An object to view,
A toy with which to play!
–
A recent Olympic tidbit,
You do what you will with it…
Russian observation
Of showers’ conservation
Of water or not is viewed legit.
(by them)
–
Don’t know if it’s just the water flow,
Or filming showers–don’t know–
But cold water shivers
For peep show givers
Could well convince visitors not to go!
–Jonathan Caswell
