You know that moment
when you trip
and begin to fall
and know you’re going
to crash and burn,
but haven’t hit yet?
The moment between
“Oh, crap!”
and “OUCH!”?
Asking someone out
on a date
via email
or instant message
or text,
and then hearing
only silence
is like that:
The moment
just before
the face plant.

If she doesn’t want/
to talk to me in depth, why/
say “Hello!” at all?

Late at night,
I see my green-orb’d friend.
She’s Facebook connected,
in a hospital,
waiting
for a daughter
to die.
Brain infused,
so young,
she was disconnected
this afternoon,
but still struggles through,
and makes my friend
wait
for the end.

As I see the green orb,
“mobile”,
I recall
how I’m waiting.
My daughter,
too,
brain diffused,
rushes onward
towards death.
Her time is less certain.
The inevitability,
less set.
I have some hope.
Though not much,
“There is always hope!”
And so my friend
and I
are connected
by death,
certain and uncertain;
by prayers,
faithful
— the only life support
we can offer —
and hopeless;
by love,
our hearts given
to our children;
and by a small
green
glowing
orb.

What a thrill to see/
your green IM box and know/
it’s no green monster!

It’s sad to look at/
past emails and IMs and/
learn you were an ass.

Green IM buttons/
let me know you haven’t done/
the Unthinkable.
Update 7/7/2011 — 3 p.m.
The buttons are gone./
Like seafoam bubbles popping,/
I don’t understand.

The dew shimmered
on a rose’s petals pink.
It gathered there
as he made her think.
His words reached her deep reality,
and brought her to the brink
of a shuddering finality
with dew-moistened petals pink.
And the poet surprised her
with his words and feelings new,
whispered deep inside her,
where they, moistened, grew.
Could he, through word and letter,
be the only one who’d get her?
