    Connie Boje

    I write poetry zines and ebooks and am currently working on updating them all into Smashwords. If you are not familiar with a ZINE it is a book produced from a photo copier or a printer. I have just come back from my first zinefest in NYC held at Barnard College. I also write fiction and my first book is called SLANTBOARD which takes place in the future where people can ride on boards that float a little off the ground nor do they go much over 10 miles and hour so they have a similar culture to long-distance bike riding. Thanks for reading!

      Star Quality

      Jun 22, 2022

      It is almost impossible to define star quality. But we know it when we see it. Those who shine brightest have that je ne sais quoi that you can’t quite put your finger on. It makes them stand out on camera, and their off-screen presence is as command

      Diary of Remorse

      I was plagued by remorse, but my remorse seemed inspired by insignificant dumb things—things not really worthy of bona fide remorse. That didn’t make it any less painful or plague-worthy, as I was still riddled with disgrace on a minute-by-minute bas

      PAY THE DRONE

      Copyright 2014-2016 By Connie Boje

      SMASHWORDS Edition

      P A Y T H E D R O N E

      the drone landed hovered to your

      door and rang pushed the button

      with its navel the doorbell and

      chirped an introduction of metal

      decibel notes of its own manu-

      facture the party was not home

      this time nor did they you answer

      the keypad but it the drone left

      a parting shot of paintball paint

      in a unique SCAINT pattern of

      alpha numeric to register its

      terminal visitation rights out

      of its butt hatch it dropped two

      neon blue large pellets one for

      customer to inflate with water

      to be able to key in another

      unique code into their keypad

      that always got them and the

      other to hopefully swallow

      to uptake their bio-metric

      registry and allow them home

      access since it was obvious

      they were again locked out

      of residence by COURT ORDER

      they you it turned out were

      behind on the mortgage

      politics is quite simply about getting

      people to think a certain way at a

      certain time similar to advertising

      but your product is the human

      politician the politician is bought

      and sold like a modern slave auction

      sold to the highest bidder through

      the electoral college of the voters

      R E P R E S E N T A T I O N

      you love products you love consuming

      and now you love technology so we love

      that you think like we do and vote for

      whoever your party wants and then your

      proxy e college chooses for you your

      candidate as if you were in office not

      them they are your stand-in your

      choice your plus or minus your fate

      but you have to do nothing serious

      it is only a matter of pulling a lever

      after pushing a button after closing

      a curtain so easy a child could and

      has
