Insight, "Second Life: Away Online — LOST"

Today’s Web Laureate Classic Insight into last Friday’s poem…

Second Life: Away Online — LOST

oN

with the weather grander it makes a great many wonder what could make people gather away online; away from the fresh air and warming sun — an isolated existence, virtually strong relationships being established in increasing number

oFF

such is the dillema of in or outside, on or offline — lonely is as lonely does — and more lonely so the numbered of Second Life

Second Life: Away Online — LOST

The sun is out
Enjoy the day
Experience
Run
Around
Take
In the air —
Crisp fresh.

But why should
I do all of these
Things When I
Can by and by
Imagine to
Being out rather
Inside and insular
Away from people
Really there when
In front of my
Computer with my
Virtual can excite
And pretend — terrible
With eye not
To
Other’s eye black
Or brown or blue or green Alone
And lonely Too
Much
In Not enough
Out virtually the
World trapped
Between the lines
Digital.

Beginning My Second Life

Google’s Lively…

Ecstatic you might say — or they, ok?
People’s avatars wandering
Randomly and every which way

A loosely coupled — styles and sizes, shaped-colored
With rooms big and small
Things-stuff-more all being sampled

Where many people have come to play — kick-hug-kiss-buddy
Who and what and why and to what end
We wait, and we drag and chat and say

Google’s Lively lively — bubbling, percolating activity
Just to what success will they have
And to what exact degree?
