Internet Blindness©--A Poem

By Richard A. Falb

The stars are brightly shining

I do not see a one

My eyes are glued to internet

Until the rising sun

I did not see the outer world

It was no longer real

My world was in the internet

The rest had no appeal

My friends did what they could for me

I did not see the reason

Chat rooms were good enough for me

No matter what the season

I did not see the me they saw

My eyes were dull and rheumy

But I thought I saw bright and clear

Not what was happening to me
