Productivity? How many nights
of four hours' sleep can the spirit take
before sensibility falls before need
and loneliness becomes longing

Objectivity? It goes the way of your family
sitting in the same room invisible
not existing anymore in real time
you are looking not seeing
you hear your own music not voices
until the inhabitants of your house
leave crying and you do not notice

Divorced? Yes, you might be because
this journey leads to ruin and madness
while it feels better than you've ever had
posts to each other become seductive
emails full of flirtation real communication
and pain
why does that woman understand you
more than your wife
what will do you do about it
now that you have shut down your real life

Forum? Two is a quorum
a hundred emails a day, phone sex
boundaries fall, lust wins and vanquishes decorum
electronic components become mere tools of orgasm
until you awaken one day realizing that
deprived of sleep and judgment
you are lost to reality, all needs and no feed
and the dream island was an illusion
and you are almost a goner, drowning in

Confusion!
and you look around alone,
it will be a long road to atone
a journey that starts with a stumble
woven of a computer beckoning
memories, dimly remembered ecstasy
and a couple of land mines
but lovely Diana is dead and cannot
save you, you slave to pleasure
there is no treasure
and no rainbow
