“Talking” with a friend
on Facebook
I begin to watch
these fingers dance.

The keystrokes
can somewhat keep up
with the thoughts
as they pan out
in the chat window.

I am better with the advice
than with the doing.

“Those who can't do...teach.”

Call me a can't doer.

Dance fingers,
dance.

Do the noble work
while my mind
slumbers through the slop.

You look so wondrous
as the white glow
of the monitor
cascades upon these digits
hugged by the dark room.
