Not gonna lie here. Written more to get back in the feeling of non-prose than to make an impact. Dashes used for spaces because the site's ever-ineffective editing seems to be not working again.

Distance

RaeRae, 08.23.08

We claim “meant to be” like a mantra,

all the time fighting fighting fighting

through monitors and power cords

where textual confessions lead to pixilated affections

-

… but where’s the attention?

-

Chance becomes opportunity when all you need is a profile

The boy next door is across the country

and the girl of your dreams is halfway across the world

And the plans come out grand,

A stylish life in some promised land of city living

-

Together

-

...Whenever they can afford to come around

But the miles are minutes,

And the minutes are counting down

-

So just for now let’s stick with virtualities…

Tsk, tsk - technicalities.
