Neo-random Thoughts: On Wi-fi

All of a sudden

wi-fi signals

are low

(The modem, a moron!)

I am now worried

we may not

communicate

our wishes, dreams and fantasies

to each other

or

you might think

I am despicably slow!

Love in Less

I had never believed

love

could be expressed

in a haiku

or a short poem

precise

like a wink

social

like senses

multiple

like a word

Then I loved

and

thank god

I realized

no need

for love

to be a gaze

if profound

like a glimpse.
