In Zoom

In Zoom In Zoom you’re so far away In Zoom I don’t know what to say You lower your eyes and shift in your seat I shudder from my shoulders to my feet In Zoom the world’s upside down In Zoom you smile hides your frown And I wonder if you’re going out tonight The city lights are shining, so very bright Then the internet is goes off Time with you is not enough Suddenly alone in the gloom All alone in this empty room. Next day. I wait but you just didn’t show I watch as my insecurities grow Can’t concentrate till we speak again Love transforms into a physical pain. In Zoom the screen is jet black In Zoom you’re never coming back In Zoom, my heart was broken online. In Zoom, the screen becomes a shrine. David Cox 03/08/23
