Everyone has a work area, Donkey.

Here's what Dunce's "trusted friend" has to say:

"An office is a dedicated, often formal, company-provided location for administrative or professional work, offering structure and shared resources. A work area (or workspace) is the specific, immediate space"such as a desk, home corner, or coworking spot"where an individual performs tasks."

You have a "work area" in you room.

But you don't say "when I return to the work area," because the work area is situated inside of your home. Instead, you should say "when I return home."

Calling your work area "the office" is not only incorrect, but comes across as pretentious. And, when taken with the fact that everyone knows you've been unemployed for the past 25 years, it becomes pretentious in a pathetic sort of way -- much in the same way that The Little Tramp put on airs by adopting the mannerisms of the upper class when everyone can see that he is wearing rags.

Shattered

The seconds have piled up
at the floor
lost here in some other guy's past
lying there
with your seconds piled
there went by a life
untold
unasked
going by
never caused and never traced
the future never ever appears here.

If some morning I wake
here for you
trying to find some reason to return
if I see things denied
I once defined
a life just passed me by there
slipped through my fingers
everything here now is real
so wait.
That portion of the finish
never comes.

Now that the lights are going so low
the dimming glow
falls on my ego
now that I'm falling
into my morning
here I am gazing into those
reflector eyes
morning light
is blasting my head clean too.
Morning's clearer
I've been forgetting it.

Your thoughts seem to stream
like a highway
dimming lights seem to streak
like hitch-hikers.
When does this dream end?
When do I get on up the road?
The light sped out
like a fire-fly
like gravestones
never noticed
never seen.
Like marbles
spilling from shattered minds.

-Will Dockery / August 20 1976

I didn't accuse you of borrowing my line, but they are very similar
opening lines.

No, they really aren't. "Time piles up" is a common expression
-- as are more specific variations like "seconds pile up," "minutes pile
up," "hours pile up," "days pile up," "weeks pile up," "months pile up,"
etc.

Not to mention the fact that "at the floor" is just bad English. The
seconds would pile up *on* the floor, not *at* it.

--

After some thought and discussion with my editor, I agree.

Although it doesn't matter at this point, the change in my poem was
actually made by /another/ editor nearly fifty years ago, for the first
publication in my high school newspaper:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15ndUbyxDi/

In my original typed manuscript I had written:

"The seconds have piled up on the floor, lost here in some other guy's
past."

But somewhere during the fancy typesetting, artwork and whatnot, my
friend and editor Michael Ehrhart changed "on" to "at" and his overall
job was so dazzling that we just ran with it back in 1976:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15ndUbyxDi/

What's "dazzling" about it? It's chock full of errors.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Can you point out the errors?

Hopefully I caught them all in my later revisions.

Your friend should have first run it past his English teacher... oh,
right... your English teacher was Danny Barfield.

Since the poem was edited for a high school "literary journal" it would
have been run past the English teacher supervising it; which I don't
think was Dan Barfield.

Since Will's asked me to do a re-edit, I would also like to MMP's spell
out of all those alleged "errors" - it would be very helpful.

Your childish name calling is noted and corrected, Pendragon.

Thanks again, GJD.

Again, you nailed it.

You've obviously never seen

Is that your photo??

Yes that's Harry Lime aka Michael Pendragon.

(Typo corrected)

You can't even get my name right.

That's pretty funny after all these years of your childish name-calling, Harry.

The difference is that on my part

That you're a sleazy cyberbully wannabe troll?

We know.

I correct the lies and misrepresentations and set the record straight with the truth.

Setting the record straight means presenting the truth.

Absolutely, and I'm always truthful.

Over the course of the past two days, you've been caught in several lies

That's the lie, actually.

You've been lying about and misrepresenting me for years, the last few days are no different, Harry.

You've been lying about and misrepresenting me for years, the last few days are no different, Harry.

EXAMPLE ONE:

I said that Stinky G often confused "poetry" and "poetics."

You said he didn't.

I posted numerous examples.


EXAMPLE TWO:

I said that Clay had texted you on Facebook telling you not to talk about him here.

You claimed that it was a forgery.

I posted the thread where we discussed it.


EXAMPLE THREE:

I said that you claimed Clay and his family were waiting in front of their computer for an apology.

You claimed it was another forgery.

I posted your original statement.


That's three lies that you were caught it.

Your claiming that you correct lies and misrepresentations is yet another lie. You don't correct them. You create them.


I think you're a compulsive liar.

I think you've lied so much, and for so long, that you know longer realize when you're lying anymore.

Shattered

The seconds have piled up
at the floor
lost here in some other guy's past
lying there
with your seconds piled
there went by a life
untold
unasked
going by
never caused and never traced
the future never ever appears here.

If some morning I wake
here for you
trying to find some reason to return
if I see things denied
I once defined
a life just passed me by there
slipped through my fingers
everything here now is real
so wait.
That portion of the finish
never comes.

Now that the lights are going so low
the dimming glow
falls on my ego
now that I'm falling
into my morning
here I am gazing into those
reflector eyes
morning light
is blasting my head clean too.
Morning's clearer
I've been forgetting it.

Your thoughts seem to stream
like a highway
dimming lights seem to streak
like hitch-hikers.
When does this dream end?
When do I get on up the road?
The light sped out
like a fire-fly
like gravestones
never noticed
never seen.
Like marbles
spilling from shattered minds.

I didn't accuse you of borrowing my line, but they are very similar
opening lines.

No, they really aren't. "Time piles up" is a common expression
-- as are more specific variations like "seconds pile up," "minutes pile
up," "hours pile up," "days pile up," "weeks pile up," "months pile up,"
etc.

Not to mention the fact that "at the floor" is just bad English. The
seconds would pile up *on* the floor, not *at* it.

--

After some thought and discussion with my editor, I agree.

Although it doesn't matter at this point, the change in my poem was
actually made by /another/ editor nearly fifty years ago, for the first
publication in my high school newspaper:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15ndUbyxDi/

In my original typed manuscript I had written:

"The seconds have piled up on the floor, lost here in some other guy's
past."

But somewhere during the fancy typesetting, artwork and whatnot, my
friend and editor Michael Ehrhart changed "on" to "at" and his overall
job was so dazzling that we just ran with it back in 1976:

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15ndUbyxDi/

What's "dazzling" about it? It's chock full of errors.

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Can you point out the errors?

Hopefully I caught them all in my later revisions.

Your friend should have first run it past his English teacher... oh,
right... your English teacher was Danny Barfield.

Since the poem was edited for a high school "literary journal" it would
have been run past the English teacher supervising it; which I don't
think was Dan Barfield.

Since Will's asked me to do a re-edit, I would also like to MMP's spell
out of all those alleged "errors" - it would be very helpful.

Your childish name calling is noted and corrected, Pendragon.
