THE ADVENT OF CHAT

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

with subtle exchange

of surrendered intent

individuals virtually converge

randomly pairing up to meet

in the general spirit of

conversation's lament

sparks of intrigued reparte' through

such medium as that of the internet 

carry back and forth their messages

thousands of miles away 

and in mere milliseconds they are displayed

so completely unheard of prior

to such advent in technology 

all this is the new alike attracting alike

in the heights of the modern day

so hats off to the groups of Jobs, Gates,

Yang and the US government and military

for their compiled input

it's because of these ambitious individuals and

faceless entities 

that friendship, companionship and or romance

are readily now at one's disposal

starting with nothing more than one tiny ping

of hello

from a tiny little square box so full of

before even unimagined yet infinite possibilities..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Was chatting wiht a lovely lovely soul truly who is working in Singapore, but born and raised in India yet comes off as way more westernized than most US friends of mine and we were marveling on how wonderful it is to meet people we would otherwise have never met (our two selves most assuredly included) and become quite remarkable friends and acquaintences. This poem gradually grew from that enlightening conversation.

Please note that when I mention the US government and the military it has to do with the advent of the internet. I learned that it all started with the US government and the military as the used such systems for drones and such and air to land/object missile strikes it was later that many other contributed a great many facets and brought it all together to makethe internet world wide public assessable as it is as we know it today and have known it for nearly 20 years now.
