Weather?
What you ate?
Is this really my Internet fate?
Emotions!
What you feel!
Are feelings and emotions
out of date?
Abbreviations.
Is English dead?
Are we all so busy people unable
to use their heads?
Responses.
Let people hang?
Deaf to emails and texts.
Ignored, as if we were already dead.

I have a new email address.
Old one may work for awhile but
like life, it can stop at any time.
One problem so far.
This new address sends emails
multiple times like missiles
without any help from me.
So if one of my emails arrives
over and over and over
please, please let me know.
But like presidential tweets
nothing I can do about it.

Does HE hear our email prayers?
Do they count as if we care?
Are HIS photos of perfection
Cast of HIM in true reflection?
A forward here, a forward there
Just one click, we're everywhere
Perhaps HE counts technology
As though it were theology?
I don't know nor do you
Only hope that this is true!

I prefer texting, messaging and emails generally
as a better form of communication for yours truly,
because while I am civil and polite enough
to allow others to complete a verbal thought,
others in turn in mid sentence tend to interrupt and cut me off.
That's when I throw in the towel and have nothing further to say,
because they are not interested in my opinion anyway.
Most people I find have absolutely no self discipline
to restrain themselves from interrupting
whenever someone responds in a conversation,
and for me that is very sad and very frustrating.
