They'll Update Their Romance With The Line 'i'll Be Your Webcam' Poem by Raj Dronamraju

There's an anger in everything you do
In the forced laughter at a partner's corny jokes
In volunteering with a grimace for something you really don't want to do
In being forced to manufacture intimacy after a day spent following too closely those you have no choice but to associate with

But you'll sit placidly for photograph after photograph
Here we are eating dinner, here we are petting the dog
He was restrained and set in a permanent fixed position like a hunter's trophy
If only he'd been as ferocious as the pose

So here's a relationship defining me and here's our relationship together as prestige, as membership in the club
Broadcasted via webcam all over the world
And I'll be your connection to the world wide web
I'll be the poster boy for your advocacy of two in one living

Declare what you want to declare
What comes naturally to be declared
I'll frown behind your back, flash two fingers over your head like small children do right as the shot is snapped
We'll change our status for friends we have never met
The relationship update is a brand new performance
