Not stalking. It's
research. I have to learn
this uncouth tongue, this
wOOt and
LssT and
pwn.
I need to understand. Who are these people
who've friended you? who turn the ether purple
with their rank gossip and their splatball anger?
who youtube every crook of a middle finger?
who post and link and tag and thread the world
so knotted every truth I know goes snarled?
Small wonder if I lurk. A blogger's ruse
or facebook feint tomorrow might disclose
new-ravelled rules, enweb new mystery.
What strangeness will engulf our lives when they
smile out of every pixel, wild and golden?
I need to know what world I will be old in.
