The screen is a "dangerous" place to be in many different ways. Talking to strangers is one. But we can't lag behind; we need to keep up with the times. The poem below is the result of dissecting the contradictory feelings the web may give rise to. I wrote it a couple of years ago, when I was "newer" to the online community.
SCREEN
LURKER You lurk
right thereIn the
corner of the screenYou call
yourself a friendYou dissemble
unabashed When the
screen gets blankLittle
friend you are not enoughYou are so
much more than a drugSo much
less than a cure Every day
your image
Fades with
the tempo
Of a
novelty turnedThreadbare
with the use
