The 115Kbps Connection



Once again tonight

I glance at my connector cable

Coiled up like a snake

Ready to strike

It lures me

To a society of like minded

Intellectuals? Loners? Outcasts?

I call them on-line friends.

Like the rubber-hose tourniqette of TV junkies

I slip it on and fasten it tight

Cutting off my circulation with my mundane life.

A few breathless seconds

…alone…

Between this world and the next

Before the info-bubble pops up:

Connected

Soft sigh of relief

I just a need a little bit more…
