Amy Murtagh - Compensated Socialising

Taste of tea on teeth,
Digestives crumbs on lips
Open up another can of
Digital wit

Artificial company, isn't quite the same
Wise cracks and obscure references
Two can play that game

Short sightedness and repetitive strain
Reach and touch
To the other side of the glass,
The lights behind the screen
But where are they now, Nobody's Queen?

Such company makes do
Pixels are people too
Words are people too

Amy Murtagh
