And the buttons say
Yes, No, Maybe?

And I read the words
(That say almost nothing –
“No game players”
“I’m a laid back girl”
“Shy at first”
“If you want to know more,
You’ll have to ask me”)
Throw a dart
At a word
In a dictionary
And I’ve got a better chance
Of defining you

I know less about you
Than I know about the car
I saw in the parking lot
At the grocery store
Last Thursday night
With the dent in the door
And the hubcap missing
And the bumper sticker
With some guy’s name on it
I never even heard of
Running for City Council
Six years ago
Did he win?
Did he lose?
Yes, No, Maybe?

And I look at the picture
And it sometimes isn’t you
It’s a duck
Or a hat
Or a house on a hill
Or two people
Or three
(With no information
About which one is you –
If any –??)
Is it really you?
Yes, No, Maybe?

Profile says:
“I like to have fun”
How original (yawn)
How much time
Did you put into this?
Four seconds? Five?
Couldn’t be much more
Are you here for a reason?
To meet someone?
Or is it just a reflex,
A facade, an illusion,
“My friend told me about this site
So I set up a profile
And then I went away
And I’ll never look at it again”
Yes, No, Maybe?

Too shy to say
“I’m interested” – ?
Or not even there at all –
A ghost of a shadow
Of a non-existent profile
Of a dot-to-dot picture
Of a non-existent person
This is ectoplasmdating
Nothing mentioned
Nothing gained
Yes, No, Maybe?

will you capture me in 100 words
or a dozen pictures clothed in art
will you see me in cartoons which
show you how i play
will you hear me in repartee to
know my heart by what i say
free me then and let me be
and love me freely
all of me
