Who Are You

We talk and share our thoughts Yet I don’t really know who you are At times I actually don’t know if your male or female Or your real name which is quite bazaar! I have no idea what you look like Or even how old you may be Whether you are alone in life Have pets or a family? I know nothing about your history What occupation you have or had The hobbies or interests you enjoy Special talents you have …..good or bad! Are you likeable, talkative ,friendly Or quiet ,reserved and shy Are you patient and tolerant Humorous ,serious or sly Are you kind and generous Or frugal and tight Are you organised, clean and tidy Or hoard everything in your sight! I only know what country you live in Not where, in what ,with who Do you live in the city or country Or by the beach with a sea view? I have no idea the foods you like I don’t know your dislikes or joys Don’t know your strengths or weaknesses Your fears ,or dreams ,or what you avoid? You maybe a criminal locked in jail Violent , frightening, breaker of rules Feel no compassion or empathy Maybe a racist, judgemental or cruel? All I know of you is your poetry Our connection through written word alone Fellowships formed through a computer screen The rest of you to me…..unknown!
