We, the Coronado Scribes, consist of both professional and amateur writers. We have in common a desire to learn, by sharing our efforts and listening to other writers. We hold pressure-less sessions every Wednesday, at the Coronado Library conference room, starting at 1:30. Often we have guests who wish to just listen. They are welcome, and so are you.
Each week on eCoronado, we feature a different piece of prose or poetry produced by one of our writers. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section below.
Talking To You
By R.J. Black
Talking to you
is like calling at dolphins
to come out and play on the beach.
I turn blue in the face.
Talking to you
is like calling the plays from the sofa
as the Packers play the Chargers on TV.
I turn blue in the face.
Talking to you
is like telling a suicide bomber
there are no seventy-two virgins.
I turn blue in the face.
Talking to you
is like telling my shadow
to stop following me.
I turn blue in the face.
Talking to you
is like praying to God
to re-grow an amputated leg.
I turn blue in the face.
Talking to you
is like talking to you
is like talking to you.
I turn blue in the face.
