Mr. Post-Modern Platonic
This is the state of things.
Fingers calloused from online dating –
late night clacking of lies and desires.
He’s comfortable in his avatar-skin;
blinkless and waiting for life to begin.
Emotional twitter hacks inner monologue.
Now, everybody knows the whole -
nothing.
In all that’s learned, ignorance flowers.
Cyberpunk, sexy junk, commodified pathos.
He’s one of the online masses.
A roach in the Internet motel.
Single. Married. Divorced.
Still, there’s DSL delivered, homogenized hell.
Loneliness is a Cash cow
sucking this receding hairline Romeo.
Refuge in the mirror world - no endings and no woes.
George, won’t you ever find
that all this time online is consumption of yourself?

Anon #1.... and on a lighter note but the same subject I present the Lyrics to Brad Paisley's song..
ONLINE
I work down at the pizza pit
And I drive an old Hundai
I still live with my mom and dad
I'm 5'3 and overweight
I'm a Sci-fi fantatic
Mild asthmatic
Never been to 2nd base
But there's a whole nother me
That you need to see
Go check out MySpace
Cause online I'm down in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
I drive a Mazarati
I'm a black belt in Karate
And I love a good glass of wine
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
So much cooler online
I get home, I kiss my mom
And she fixes me a snack
I head down to my basement bedroom
And fire up the mac
In real life, the only time I
Ever even been to LA
Was when I got the chance with the marching band
To play tuba in the Rose Parade.
Online I live in Malibu
I posed for Calvin Kline, I've been in GQ
I'm single and I'm rich
And I got a set of six pack abs that'll blow your mind
It turns girls on that I'm mysterious
I tell 'em I don't want nothing serious
Cause even on a slow day I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
When you got my kinda stats, it's hard to get a date
Let alone a real girlfriend
But I grow another foot
And I lose a bunch of weight everytime I log in
Online I'm out in Hollywood
I'm 6'5 and I look damn good
Even on a slow day, I can have a three way
Chat with two women at one time
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
I'm so much cooler online
Yeah I'm cooler online
