No Message From You Poem by David Harris

There is no gain without pain
so why am I hurting now.
You don’t answer my mail anymore,
communication has stopped
through and through
and I am wondering
what I’ve done to you.
You come online
but never want to talk.
What have I done to deserve
this treatment from you?
We used to joke about things
and we don’t do that anymore.
Maybe to a DJ I should put a request,
but then again maybe not
you haven’t a radio, I forgot.
What is it that you want from me?
Again I forgot you can’t talk to me
your paws can’t touch the keyboard.
Well get you pet human
to talk for you.
Are you getting my message
you old pussycat you?
