If we must
limit
our interactions
to online
I may still
appear
to be
speaking
to you
but this voice
is not mine.

This face shows
no traces
of my anxieties
and fears
because
my real self
has been
filtered
away
and
replaced
with
dog ears.

We used to
FEAR
The viruses
lurking
online
rather than
the viruses
that exist
in real life.

Funny how
things
change.
