The Line Between Us

I'm on this end of

the invisible line

so are you—

on that

the line we call

online

that seems off

yet feels on

I write

you read

you write

I read

we touch through

words and silence

we understand

misunderstand

interpret

misinterpret

cry and laugh

a breathing soul

this end—

so on that

sorrow

that end—

so on this

smiles

this end—

so on that

we're

ones and zeros

zeros and ones

yet connected by

miles of

invisible thread—

the line

close your eyes

feel the line

in between

I'm online—

so are you
