It’s cheaper to send emails Than to send text-messages So they start that instead. He makes fun of her political beliefs She ignores him and reads Bukowski And they manage to love each other Through her seriousness And his immaturity Because he makes her laugh And she makes him feel connected. She glances in the mirror and thinks, "Well, there's a smile to remember."

I love the ambiguity in the end: Who's smile? Her own? or His? I hope it's her own.

Once again I agree with you and believe that the new century will be dominated by cyber love, (not to be confused with cyber sex.)

You have captured this well.

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
