Internet Flirting

So I thought I could swim blind in these waters. Never glancing at any hooks. But the Internet is so easy. You just post a profile, download a picture, and there is all kinds of colorful bait. Guys with GQ bodies. Others who are so sensitive you're sure they'd understand your every emotion. And then there are the jet-setters. You just know you would look so hot hanging on their arm as you flew off to Hong Kong or Fiji together.

Every day you wait for the lines to be lowered. Your gills pant. Your fins wiggle. Your fingers dive for the keyboard. And you flirt. Winks. Hello theres. Nice to meet you's.

And for a while the waters warm. Until you press the escape button and look around at the empty lagoon that is your home.
