Leaning on elbows
that have pressed dents
in a thousand bars,
pushing keys on a keyboard
like a drunk dancer
playing hopscotch,

net connected,
my 21 inches hard and ready,
I feel the pull
as my face is sucked
to fascination.

Search engines groan
at the load
my lack of knowledge bears,
I am a kid again
in old man skin,

looking up the unknown addresses
wondering why
and how
and if I should,
then getting sidetracked

on some thread
where poetry or prose
or 2002 autos
or women in pantyhose bending
is the topic,

I lift my arms
and grip the edges
of the neon lips
that suck my skin,
I pull back

'til my shoulders ache,
the vacuum is tight
it drains my pores
I struggle
and survive,

log outs are such bliss,
finally the rest room
and coffee,
and another window that only
has one world behind.

Tomorrow's another day
and I'm thirsty any way
so bring on the rain

Lauren,

thanx babe...I hate this thing sometimes...then it winks at me and whispers and well...hooks me back in.


Startime,

was that your face I heard slirp loose of the dreaded neon lips of Mr. Dell or HP?
thanx for the giggles and read.

It's far too easy to use this as an addiction...to replace a love life...a home life..a job....a hobby....but I love to read ...and you write a good one sir.
