Web of Miles

Airwaves and
Static
Macro or micro
The service can be
So slow.
Our hearts are strung
Out on telephone 
Lines and our
Feelings 
Displayed on
Line. We smile
Silently at a 
Cold-hard-flat
Screen 
Hoping to
One day touch
Flesh and
Bones. Phones
Are wonderful 
Things but
I want more
Than an inter-net
Outer-met 
Relationship.
I can see his
Face put
Together by
Thousands of
Pixels and hear
His voice over
Thousands of
Miles. It’s great 
To be a
Touch-screen
Away but when
Can I touch 
His sun kissed
Breeze twist-ed
Sky mixed skin
Instead of
This plastic
Representation 
Of him?

When can we be more than airwaves?
