“Internet Campfire”

The world peeks at one another

Reaches out or maybe not

To a stranger or a brother

What is get and what is got

In our virtual melting pots

Everything is something like it

In all the places we’ve been

Across the fire we all sit

On the other side of a screen

Where we can’t be seen

Calling soft, cry or shout

There’s darkness out there

While the world is all about

In the cyber night beware

If it’s your soul you share

Once upon a time ago

We called from tenements

To bricks and windows

To ourselves in lost lament

 As early proto blogs went

With a voice in the night

Drawing flies and crowds

The world just out of sight

Gave the night its lowly vows

“Really” laughing out loud
