Typing At a Relationship

With most of my possible lovers 

Strangely far away

The only means of testing

A little box with a blue line across the top

Or a web interface with which I get to see 

Your face, only momentarily

Usually late at night or at other obscure and fleeting moments

Each of my invisible counterparts provide a temporary diversion

Or a momentary ego boost, and yet as that Rabbi’s wife told me 

“You will never know, til you’re in their presence and that moment hits 

Where you know that they could provide you with what you need, 

In an actual time frame and you will know you can provide too, for them.

Rather than a semblance of reality providing a destiny complex and an

Intimacy only present on the screen of your MacBook”

“Just wait,” she said “ until life presents them to you and then you will be able to decide” 
I nodded, sure she was correct.

However til then, yes I'm available to chat 

Even when you all wish solely to discuss my frontward protuberances and occasionally my dreams and family situation… maybe I should just wait til that cheeky drink.
