That's what they tell me,
Too fast to be pitied,
Too slow to be cool.
I remember when the internet was new,
Dial up, forums, bulletin boards, and AOL.
Flip phones, car phones, and CD multidisc players.
Now, it's broadband, AI, and viral vids.
Threads instead of BBS.
The same struggle for connection, though,
For a listening ear.
The same predilection for echo chambers,
The same search for community,
For definition.
Identities that rise and fall as quickly as the newest trend,
Uncertain, unformed.
Malleable, vulnerable.
The same dangers lurking,
The same predators searching for prey,
Just faster speeds
And prettier packaging.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.
