Replying to a comment on:
Everybody's Gone (Free verse) by impert&ent
August.
The town empties
even the seagulls are on vacation.
Sunday.
Facebook is awash with complaints.
the vanity of screenlife obscures what's missing.
a curious lack of cameraderie.
Better to write a poem
in solitary
in acknowledgement of this peculiar setting
A substitute for conversation
with a friend
That's what it boils down to
This virtual life
every need unfulfilled
Except the need for attention
Constant
Insatiable
Where did everybody go?
