Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Enga mellom Fjella




Sentinel

         Marked
                   as if you own me
I bow before the Bitterroots
and just like you
                   my rocky soil, my withered grass
                   lays prey to the empty sky.

Someone's watching? For "48-HOUR CHALLENGE: Media Prompt".

I jump when I hear odd noises through the walls. Years ago I woke up with someone in my room (at 1 a.m.). I don't think my body has ever forgotten. I jump and then think... how silly. I was part of the generation that was traumatized by "Psycho" and "Birds" but showers don't bother me. Neither does the dark nor cemeteries. Odd isn't it, what triggers a response... or not.

I don't feel 'watched' here where I live. If I did my anxiety might get too high for me to stay. I do not surround myself with practical jokers nor do I hang out with people I can't trust. I trust no one. That's an issue. So no, I won't be watching you nor try to play with your mind. If I think you're ill or need help? I'll ask or keep my eyes open (and hopefully my mouth shut)

Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell.



Who's watching
Tell me who's watching
Who's watching me
I'm just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey hell, I pay the price
All I want is to be left alone, in my average home
But why do I always feel
Like I'm in the Twilight Zone?
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bang the door real tight
People call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Or can the people on TV see me,
Or am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower,
I'm afraid to wash my hair
Cause I might open my eyes and find someone standing there!
People say I'm crazy, just a little touch
But maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why...
I always feel like…

Sung by Kennedy William Gordy aka Rockwell (1984)

My redaction-'poem' [tweaked]:

[untitled Redaction Song]

Tell me who's watching.
Who's watching just an average man
who wants to be left alone
in the Twilight Zone.
No privacy.
Is it just a dream?

I bang          People          call me          I          avoid me...

Am I paranoid?
When I'm afraid to open my eyes
and find someone standing there!

I'm crazy, just...
maybe.

Showers remind me of...

Tell me, WHO'S WATCHING ME?

Original redaction before revision just to show how it can work:

Who's watching
Tell me who's watching
Who's watching me
I'm
just an average man with an average life
I work from 9 to 5, hey hell, I pay the price
All
I want is to be left alone, in my average home
But why do I always feel
Like I'm
in the Twilight Zone?
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
And I have
no privacy
I always feel like somebody's watchin' me
Is it just a dream?
When I come home at night
I bang the door real tight
People
call me on the phone I'm trying to avoid
Or can the people on TV see me,
Or
am I just paranoid?
When I'm in the shower,
I'm afraid to wash my hair
Cause I might
open my eyes and find someone standing there!
People say
I'm crazy, just a little touch
But
maybe showers remind me of Psycho too much
That's why...

I always feel like…
