I stumble online, finding stories saying
"90 year old couple dies holding each other" and "Lovers find each other
again after 50 year separation" and I think of the modern day love story,
meeting in between bar stools, exchanging twitters and Instagrams
adding them on Facebook, waiting for the message button to light up
cutting every minute they won't reply into an exact science of what it
all means, we fall in love in front of our phone or our computer screens,
looking into the eyes of a camera and playing chopsticks on the skin
of our keyboards I stumble online, finding
these stories,
and I hope their true.
