 “tech world”

 

lived so long on the outside

it’s too late to come home now

no talk show host

welcomes my opinions

poll takers

don’t come around

 

I’ve failed in the court

of commerce

there’s no store

that stocks my brand

my currency

has been devalued

for my products

there’s no demand

 

can’t be a player

in tech world

the worker

who mates with

the Queen

big player in bee

kingdom

high level

worker bee

 

it’s cold in the unconventional

the forecast is for

rain and then snow

no other travelers

in these mountains

lost my way

a long time ago

 

I long to come home

to the inside

but I can’t find a key that fits

they tell me I can’t

retake the test

the one that would

give me a niche

 

lived so long on the outside

it’s too late to come home now

I'm too far
from where I'm going
too far
from where I am now.
