IN A VIRTUAL WAY

Who would have thought,
or could have,
in fact,
not that long ago
that love
and relationships
of all kinds,
too numerous to say,
could get their start
in a cyber kind of way.

Who could have thought
that they could form,
let alone grow,
in a way other
than the conventional way
that we learned
back in the day.

Who could have thought
that we might
meet one another
in a way other
than in person
or maybe on the phone,
or even possibly,
if we dared,
a blind date,
definitely as far
as we might go.

But that was then
and this is today —
quite a new ballgame
for nothing ever
remains the same.

Now people meet
in all kinds of ways,
including this box
that sits on the desk,
fine folks finding each other
in a cyber sort of way,
friendship and love found
in a virtual way.

But,
of course,
like anything else,
we must take heed
and take care —
“caveat emptor,”
“let the buyer beware” —
for not everything,
as we know,
is always what it seems.
And the same goes
for friendship
and love
on the internet
and in real life
and everything
in between.
