We can sit in the same
                                                room
            and not
                        touch
                                    speak
            interact at all; quite comfortable
sharing space between us, reading
different books and
                                    companionship without
            obligation to entertain

We talk about
                        everything –
            words rambling like briars over
fertile ground, reaching
                        for some common goal, some
            shared opinion. We
                        disagree, sometimes, but gently.
We agree, mostly, in a rush of same syllable synchrony,
tripping over one another, tanglefooted.
                                    Bedtime comes too soon.
                                    So do phone bills.

You are not
awake
yet.
I messaged you last night by email.
We often speak in pixels; telephone rarely.
Electronic best friend,
Somewhere you are a person
On the other end of our paper cup ---- and ---- string
Speaking into the electric air.
I receive your words at the notification sound.
No face
No outer shell
We commune, plugged in
mind to
mind.

I know I'm in my own world... it's okay, they know me here

...I want to be what you need
