not here

not here

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

emptiness of cyber space

"

Pride goeth or cometh before a fall?

 

the order doesn't matter

only the meaning --

I have too much pride

to slum in this dump

anymore.

 

I will not stand before you in judgment

 

I am more than the sum

of my various anatomical parts

plump and pink and smiling

wet and vulnerable

on the outside.

 

you do not like me

 

do not flirt with me

do not friend me

not here,

in this desolate space.

I, unlike you,


am not an empty vase

Author's Note

Lyn Anderson
Cyber space is lonely, get out and shake a hand, pick up a girl in a bar. Just saying ...
BTW this is no commentary on my friends here. Just the whole deal in general.

you are welcome
I have never been too involved with the likes of Facebook so much, until lately,
I have found It is the best way to keep up with my kids.

And I have found old friends and new ones.

But that should never keep one from venturing out and meeting anyone in person.

Great emotional write about the current situation with the internet and human exposure to reality.

If I am wrong feel free to beat me in the literal sense at least...Go check out the second verse, as it is currently writ..... Might it possibly read better if it read 'I am more than the sum of my various anatomical parts' or even.... I am more than the sum of my anatomical parts'

I am now even more intrigued than when I first stumbled upon this recent write of yours.... N

The what is a mistake thanks. Glad you picked it up.
very interesting!! too much of a good thing ruins it ... i confiscate my childrens phones at the door when they visit .. otherwise they sit next to each other texting .. sometimes one another .... :{ are you kidding!!!? i agree with you completely .. nothing like:
"of my various anatomical parts
plump and pink and smiling
wet and vulnerable"

that kind of turned me on KL ;)
