Two am

i look at the clock
two am
two ?
doesn't look right
should be spelled
differently

am wide awake
why

in a chat room
talking to myths

am close to myths
and don't know
why

can you be friends
in cyberland

do i want to meet
cybermates

wear a cloak in
cyber space
invisible

safe

flaws don't exist
reinvent self

like cyberself
is it better
than real self

invent personalities for
cyber contacts
will be disappointed by reality
will see flaws of others

secret e-mails
but how secret
can forward to the world

would world be interested
spam

liked an earlier time
before e-mail
mobile phone
internet
instant messaging

visiting people
real time
real people
real cups of tea

what is real now

are chat rooms real
or invention
can be anyone
am i me
or someone else

someone else
can be me
i can be someone else

anonymity cloaks
