Chat

Sitting alone last night
Glass of wine
I logged on in desperation
Divorce chat room
51 people online

talking about nothing
to each other
and no one

I made my plea
I’m here alone
No brownies or knitting
Just my reflection
In the monitor

Cabernet and anxiety
Needing affirmation
Confirmation
Stimulation

Stupid comments
I get plenty and then
One real voice about
How tough it’s been

It’s too late
I’m logging off
It’s all chatter
About nothing
I’m going through

Sleep computer
At least one of us will
More alone now
More quiet and still
