The World Is Getting Smaller, Yet The Emptiness Is A Vast Expanse. Poem by RIC BASTASA

alright,
the world had become
smaller

what with this
internet world
this cyber universe
we always chat
we post pictures
food that we eat
friends that we meet
places that we have
visited.

in bed when i sleep
alone without the
gadgets
i still wonder
why do i feel so alone?

why are you so far
away?
why is this emptiness
expanding like
the black hole that
we still imagine
eating us all
like a blending machine
where i do not know
who i am
and who are you
