light, a reboot

This digital life is light we praise yet shape ourselves

With keyboard strokes we initiate

magical light rays travelling fibered arteries

an electronic highway grid matching the grid of nerves,

ganglions, thoughts, desires, fantasies

in our electric bodies electric thoughts yield to electric kisses

There is a new sense being created, the sense of connection

erotic exchanges

turn need into printed symbols

emoticons mimic unseen facial cues

emotions transmitted through pauses and key punches, font size and color

there is a new sense being created, the sense of connection

digitized desire

love affairs compressed through servers and gateways

intercontinental connections

distance is no barrier we have lovers in England, Alabama, the Ukraine

or the house down the street

breathing yet breathless seeing yet unseen

somehow we communicate moods and feelings

you feel your loins stir at the words sent from one

the same words, from another, leave you cold and unmoved

there is a new sense being created, the sense of connection

remember the fever of youthful lust

the catch of breath in the throat at the sight of the other

the hormonal surge of desire, of lust, of passion, of need?

the typed greeting of a virtual lover renews that

youthful lust decades too late for happy endings

the hormonal surge feels the same, the stimuli provided now

by marriage of machine and man

there is a new sense being created, the sense of connection
