Second Life?
By day I move in shades of grey
Just another suit
Waiting for the boot
As the shareholders bay for blood
A lonely tear falls
In my microwave meal for one
Will anyone miss me
When I am gone?
But when I get back home
The laptop sparks to life
And life begins again
The caviar of avatars,
They all fall at my feet
A heady surge
Of pixellated power
Wipes out the pain
Of my darkest hours
