Remember The Matrix –
that queasy feeling of unreality
as your head
is pixilated, frozen in space
and the sound
of the not-quite voice
chases your lips.
Still, it’s better than phoning
I convince myself.
We can look into each
others eyes/cameras
talk about the day’s events
our digital kisses
lip-synching words half-heard
across the universe.
This is great, Martin! Love the comparison of Skype with The Matrix! and the digital kisses lip-synching. And the fact that it uses a form I’d never heard of which didn’t scream ‘look at me, I’m a lune’!
