PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a mental version
of flesh
introducing itself to flesh
chat rooms often resemble
night clubs without bodies
sitting in the booths
or at the bars
or dancing on the
lively well lit dance floor
minus all the smoke and lights
and loud music
its just words in boxes
here
often crude
bespeaking too much
casual loose sex
low character assessments
thrown around
amid
questionable pity and or humorous
barbs
alluring conversationalists
or hearts behind the words
are gems to find
rare yet oh so welcome
to the treasure trove of the mind
but mostly its insipid blah blah
exchanged at some bored mediocre
level of vague disconnected interest
meager scraps given
and or snatched
being frisked for
some mental styling worth
having
herds of buzzing minds gathered
seeking out alike streams of
conversation starters
so many unexpected friends
I've made in just this way
from  a simple request
made unto me
for general conversation
to be engaged
and seedlings are planted
and a friend from such venture
grows
is a strange beautiful concept
indeed
to make a friend from where before
there was none
the hub bub of hob nob
in this new age version of the meat market
aptly enough called the net
its where millions alike get netted and
do some netting themselves
in some twisted jest
does that make us all in some form
or another
fisher men and women
vying for the right combination
that hands over to us
the true tangible flesh
tucked behind
those conversations we
note are worth having
all Internet Blessings
in a manner of speaking
packing on or packing up
the hype and myth.............
