The internet
a discursive look into most anything
friendships, business interminglings,
personal affairs,
the medium is developed
is developing
better ways to track your friends,
your business contacts, your "hottness"
Raindrops of impersonal contact
will never make up for a waterfall of personal attention
keeping 100 balls in the air is cool
makes you feel needed, connected,
but to what
log in hourly to see if you have 37 friends,
the widely accepted number needed to fit in.
the trees of the forest wonder
the animals on your floor wait
the path through the park hopes
for your return.
discursive \dis-KUR-siv\, adjective:
1. Passing from one topic to another; ranging over a wide field; digressive; rambling.
