My new millenium,
high-tech internet dating relationship
of six months duration ended today,
a new experience for me...
Yes, I got dumped by e-mail.
God bless America!
There was no emoticon-use
or fancy fonts, use of color--
just black-and-white
standard default "Dear John"
painless electronic submission.
Press send and move on.
He said I had too much baggage
for someone his age at
"this point in his life"...
so I read it, hit delete
and experienced closure.
Buh-bye, Rob.
It's been (cyber) real.
Your name's already
out of my address book,
in my recycling bin
and permanently deleted.
System error.
File not found.
Took up too much memory.
