Yes, it is I. Back again. And no...
I am not in London
pleading for a loan to get me back to Buenos Aires.
I never WAS in London.
One night I left my e-mail open,
mujermaiz@yahoo.com
and the next morning I had lost fifteen years
and hundreds of letters and archives
and my Cyber identity.
My interior life was sucked dry
by a computer vampire.
Gone forever.

I was able to recuperate what was left
of that identity,
even mujermaiz@yahoo.com
functions again.
So please, e-mail me there.
In the shock my Internet personality went schizo
and I am also
poetofthecrystallute@gmail.com
and susyqbid@yahoo.com

I finished my book of haiku,
sent it to the printer.
They say I will soon have the books.
They have been saying that for a considerable
length of time now.

We are going to have to start over,
you and I --and you and you... and I.
I lost addresses, e-mails, all ....
gone, gone, gone.
Damn, I have missed you,
but I have been in limbo, depressed.
Would you believe this strange half-assed poem
is the first I have written
since the special Cyber world that is our world,
went “poof” on me?

sure i believe it - and you're back and you're strong
bravo

so much for walking away from open e-mail addresses
hey, Sue - good to see you

Thank you, Judi Pie! I awoke at 4:15 AM and wrote this half asleep-- I had said it all before, but my subconscious went wild and drove me to the computer. Which reminds me, I TOLD my fingers to write "went" and they wrote "when." They do this every now and then, trying to take me over? Can they be getting a life of their own? That is all I need! Hugs, Sue

...and yes, I'm following you. Creepy isn't it. I'm new to this stalking thing, so I may have some questions for you later. For now I'll just peep into your posts...wherever you may post them (bwa-ha-ha-ha...cough, choke...sorry, down the wrong pipe). Big Ass Poem wesley
P.S. Doreen invited me here, so I have permission to stalk your poetry.

Sue, certainly am glad you are back...you brighten up this place with your
"Suekus". Hope all is well with you.

Stalk away, Wesley! Most flattering! And thank you, Steve, it's great to be back ... ♥

Delightfully humourous. Thank you, thank you Sue. I smiled all the way through.

Welcome back, Sue! Great to see you!

Sorry you lost all that stuff and had the email problems but hey, you got a cool poem out of it!

...terribly sorry for the headaches and heartaches and grief of your loss. Why is it that cyberloss has pain that's cyberless--pain that lands in embodied reality instead?

I am really excited for your worded wisdom to spread around. You're a gift!

Long live London. Long live the Queen.
But in Buenos Aires, better airs are seen!
