Modern Love

You work up the gigabyte of courage it takes 
one to cross the gigabit gulf that separates us
on this vast and coldly digital sea of loneliness

I ponder a terabyte's worth of polite words of
of reluctant decline that serve but to make the
depressing of a button, less depressing for me

Then, I precisely calculate the optimal phrase
that will satisfy my purpose and the data storage
required for a rejection, in 140 characters or less
