Mutuality In Invisible Mode Poem by RIC BASTASA

i am online
and you are online
almost
at the same time together

and then
we are offline together

i know
the truth, we are simply on the invisible mode

when no one wants to talk
no one wants to forgive
and forget

and then we continue doing what we are doing
i write a poem
and you write yours
and we post it
using different names
almost at the same
time and we know
that poem and this poem
for whom the bell tolls
it tolls
for thee, ah, it is hemingway again

one of our favorites.
