Exotic friendships bloom
in cyberspace, like sea-
anemones in sheltered
underwater glades;
cryptic messages
swim into view, then sink
beneath the waves,
like tentacles
that seek unwary prey.
Even in dreams the lonely
hunters surface, actors
in a play; embrace
their sleeping quarry;
flee before approaching day.
Last night another incident,
too enigmatic to explain -
a shadowy encounter
across time-zones took
my breath away. The saddest
thing about such cyber-
lovers - they can never stay.
Like Sea-Anemones
