Connections

A lover

I never had

came to me recently

carried on the vagaries of the internet
she drifted against my picture
and stopped to speak

I do not recognize you
she said

either do I 
 I replied

Then she moved on
sailing to distant memories
on other IP's

leaving me with

a face I thought was mine

and a vague feeling
of unease

mmm, and unease is just what they poem conveys. that vague and troubling uncertainty of whether or not we really exist online is what I got from this. Well done !

this poem is another good example of what I was talking about in my soapbox comment.

Did you know you were doing all that?
