Sooooooooooooo, sometimes magazines fall apart. Anyone who goes to my publications will see that my poem “Attention Costs” is no longer available online. The website for Daily Love Magazine is closed. So, I want to make sure folks can read my work. Below is my poem Attention Costs which was originally published by DailyLove.net in January 2013.
Attention Costs
All this attention
But loneliness sets
One is a good friend and the others want more
But what is that going to cost my freedom
Do I really want to be free
What will that cost my ego
I can think of so many things I want to do
In a house full of people thinking about you
But where are you
Sorry for the no car business but I’m in a financial problem
What does that even mean
What will that cost my need for attention
I have naughty thoughts even though I don’t know the size
Haven’t seen much more than your face and hands
These thoughts come at any and all times
What will that cost my celibacy
I want some attention but I can’t even explain
What do I really want and am I insane
Just read my mind so we can get it over with
