the links go viral in the wondrous wasteland
people notice blue lettering
take journeys in rivulets of meaning
down pages pumping information
its crazy this desire for numbers
on twitter, FB. linkedin loops
click click click we go on a virtual
merry go round
dog chasing tail?
the circle widens, ripples
be wise they say
keep it clean, smart
as we manage this momentum
will the bubble burst
in a connected world
where we remain faceless, voiceless
life on a keyboard
ruled by a mouse
scampering through ghost people
its time to go back to living
and handshakes and kisses
phone numbers in wallets
smell skin and taste and touch
its time to sleep now
forever unconnected.
