I wrote this piece at Uni 15 years ago and could not have foreseen just how radically the WWW would:
impact my life and show me how to step into love again…
effect the world; it’s so much easier to share our IDEAS (good or not so)…
hardcover BOOKS (hand held) went out but are in fashion again…
UNFORTUNATELY whole countries can make the web world go dark on a whim.
Website Walking
When keyboard-bashing signs and space,
I seldom see a familiar
face. Though it’s possible now to
meet, see, hear, your dream (but not touch)
drift-mouse over tiles – double click.
Life-secrets revealed through window
layers. Welcome to my website!
Cerebral sex, flirting on-line,
erases the risk of truth. Be
anyone for everyone on
the safe world wide web of deceit.
Construct a distant mirage for
the lonely, scared, ugly, who
can’t fit the ideal, to compete.
