A Less Than Tragic Love

It was years ago
a lonely year.
a more clunky and mechanical age,
a dial-up decade.

He sent out needy signals.
Eventually a divorced lady from
Doncaster responded.

Sensual seeds were planted.
E-mails were exchanged
together with photographs
taken years earlier.

One day, not long after
a mutual disappointment
fizzed between them
like a dying fly.

Together they dialed-out.
