net.affection

Is it me?
Or is it bizarre?
Trying to find

Emotion
Down wires?
What lies behind

The pictures
And the words
On the flickering screen?

A hope?
Fantasy?
The chance to dream

Of love,
Friendship?
Is there affection

Hooked up,
Wired
To a telephone connection?

Soulless?
Coldness?
Not always so!

Chatting,
Exchanging,
Then meeting some beau

Who's funny,
Sexy,
And shares your views -

Well online
At least,
But it's you he did choose

After all,
From the hordes
Of possible mates.

And you know
They are all
Potential dates!

The network gave you the chance to seek
And find this guy with whom you now speak.
Will you click
From that click?
