It made his muscles feel broken
Reducing his ability to move to an awkward lurching
Oh, he still left a smile bloom on his face
Now he was done with all the swimming, biking, and running proving he was made of…

Bots (an acrostic poem)
Image: newsweek.com/en/full/466747/google-red-button.jpg
Believing in one’s ability to control the machine, the button is pressed
Observing the fallacy of that confidence as the droid fails to do what was desired
Though in the end, the comradery and lessons learned far outweighed the disappointment
STEM encapsulates an ever beating heart and a spirit that will rise from the ashes of failure
Crass (an acrostic poem)
Cussing like a drunken sailor that stubbed his toe on the anchor chain of some 18th century Caribbean pirate boat
Rachel made all of the people around her blush almost redder than her flame colored locks
All anyone thought of the diminutive woman was how cute and childlike she was
So when she showed her ability to adult like some of the most depraved adults that ever adulted
So many people swore they never saw it coming.
Lens (an acrostic poem)
Looking through the telescope
Everything looks so much closer
Nothing is beyond his ability to observe
So the only reason he stopped was because the police knocked
Travel (an acrostic poem)
The ability to go where you want when you want was so curtailed
Reduced to going to and fro between rooms in your own place
And that was a dream luxury if you lived a studio apartment
Viewing those same four walls every day, day in, day out, hour after hour
Eventually even the strongest of will would start to feel incarcerated
Leaving one to make marks on the wall to mark doing your COVID time
School (an acrostic poem)
She wanted to learn everything
Cram as much of the information as she could into her cerebellum
Have the ability to recall things faster than Google
Obviously that wouldn’t be really possible
Or else there would already be that person in the world
Leaving her only one choice, stay forever where she could continue to try to be the first
That’ll Fix Anything (a 50 word story)
The phone was broken, but he was sick of buying new ones. He grabbed his screwdriver and contemplated how to attack the problem. It was probably beyond his ability, but he was damn good with a screwdriver. After drinking three of them it wasn’t fixed, but he didn’t care anymore.

Shade (an acrostic poem)
Shadows danced in his eyes, and that’s what mesmerized her
He haunted her every waking moment, and then those dreams
Any difference between dream and reality were very slight variations
Darkening her ability to keep a coherent thought
Eventually, his veil was lifted, but it was too late for her

Remote (an acrostic poem)
Reaching out without touching
Enabling change without moving
More inventions using voice were created
Only they paled at the ability to point and click
The universe of television opened up
Even when you didn’t have kids to change the channel

Funk (an acrostic poem)
Freddie shredded his guitar solo
Until his speaker drowned in reverb
Nuking its ability to be dynamic
Keeping the rest in a true 70’s vibe
