The modem works all through the night
Connects to another world—
Call of virtual reality, when reality scares!
I sit and wait, galore of chat rooms speed past
No real names, no identities revealed,
Life on a different mode here.
Black fonts dance on the screen,
Waiting to be heard. I switch
To another site, on Vedic astrology.
The World Wide Web knows it all,
The secrets of destiny and human heart—
Even time’s tyranny controlled,
As it floats on this web— it cannot reign.
The world now a global family,
The Internet a part of their daily dinner subject.
Fuzzy logic the new hero,
That would enhance artificial intelligence,
And perhaps help me chat with a robot.
This web, entangled
grasps me—
Stuck in its abyss
I grope amidst dream and reality.
