Paradox Poem by Jerry Behr Number 2

Sitting on my sofa I'm experiencing a paradox.
My wife is sitting besides me operating her laptop,
She is playing internet games with a host of her internet buddies.
Now she might be here beside me, yet she really is not.
In actual fact I'm alone, this goes on for hours and hours.
She is here, yet she is not there.
Sometimes she yells and screams at her internet buddies,
and mumbles to the screen of her laptop.
She might be here but I needn't talk to her because she is not there,
lost to the laptop paradox thats sweeping the world.
It is a cruel irony that a powerful laptop computer
where one can communicate with anyone in the world
is such a destroyer of relationships as they play games
for hours and hours all day every day every evening
the laptop is a nightmare.
Don't go there.
