The Wild Internet

A skein of poetry flung out into the void

A Facebook comment to a beautiful redhead you met once at a wedding
She never answered it
A posted video of your latest performance art project

The internet is a wilderness in the way that New York City is a jungle
Who knew you could be so alone among so many people
In the middle of the rainforest, you can call and call
and never wonder if a person will answer; you know they won't
Out here, there's always a chance
There's always a waiting silence
Wavering, suspended




Sometimes we cry into the wilderness
"Eleanor Rigby"
Tommy Steele 1982
Liverpool, UK
