Cyberworld
Couples desperate to gloss their matte lives
Hug each other in the hallway
For a picture baiting likes and comments
Before retiring to separate bedrooms for the night
Kids older than their years
Feed on the gruel of smart phones and tablets
Their cyber avatars cordoned off
Live parallel lives with integrity
Friends professing love and allegiance on Facebook
Sharing jokes and ‘Good Mornings’ daily in chat groups
Turn abruptly from ‘Milk’ to ‘Apples’
On chance sightings in grocery stores
