Sour Grapes

The orange light blinks
like a twitchy tweaker's
eyes and it should be
full of jealousy but its
not, and it creates a
scenarios rivaling the
angry, sour grapes
from Steinbeck's time.

Will this happen in real
time like it did in a
computerized environment?

If so, everybody would
die of laughter at how
pathetic they actually are.

Is this a reality check? Your writing hits buttons, makes readers think .. well, I try. Hmmm: 'If so, everybody would ~ die of laughter at how ~ pathetic they actually are.'

grapes are awful things when they go sour...we can peel their skin off, just as if they were eyeballs, not grapes.....but inside the computer, everyone is peeled back to the core anyway and laughing at the futility of it all

Such a must, and well done piece of irony! I love it! Very good write!

[joshua deathdealer]

buhaha killer write with a true sour feel.

[roarke]

out with a whimper, not a bang. yep.

so, don't bother peeling those suckers. Just crush 'em for the wine.

simple, direct, pointed. Can't writer better than that.

*nervous laugh*
Quite frankly, laughing at my pathos lessens their power over me, I can only hope I don't die of it.
You turned a unique muse into a strong, provocative poem.
I enjoy your free verse because it's unencumbered by rules, twisted, and delightful.

Shoot. I'm dying of laughter already.

Good stuff.
