What has happened to those dual emotions,
Excitment and anxiety,
That come of expectation,
As you await that return letter.
By 'snail mail'.
Now when we have a single thought,
Banal or brilliant,
Generous or mean spirited,
With one click,
We can share it.
And to not just one correspondent,
But to possibly millions.
(If the content is 'voyeur-worthy' enough.)
And to ease the anxiety,
Of the anticipation,
Of a reply,
One click.
So we dull the anxiety.
But what of the excitement?
