oh no,
i can't write a poem on facebook
that fits
but I can post a song!

what is this.

social media.
what is this for poetry
get out the guitar.

arguements (about keyboards and using those and guitars)
am i obsolete?
what did I do right?

I'm not sure,
there is anyone who reads this
it's like going behind a alleyway
in new york
and smoking a joint

if you usually don't do one,
even though I don't

being here, it seems noone noticed,
nooone cared
a tree fell in the forest,
and she wasn't here even

and there are all these trees standing
even though they said...

no they're standing
and it's sort of scary but Boise isn't that far
away
Boise isn't that far away

and it isn't that great

I can't write a poem on Facebook, but can post a mp4

(song)

I eventually noticed. Your title intrigued me. I thought it was a
reference to the Saturday Night Dancehall. (If you ever feel like
posting a video, rather than a poem, feel free to join in anytime.)
