A salesman was trying to talk a farmer into buying a bicycle, but was meeting with considerable sales resistance.

"Shucks, I'd sooner spend my money on a cow," said the farmer.

"Ah," replied the salesman, "but think how silly you'd look riding around on a cow."

"Humph!" retorted the farmer. "Not near as silly as I'd look trying to milk a bicycle!"

Panacea


The echo of silence is deafening

And the fangs of depression lurks in the dark

Ready to take a life anytime

Until the YM blinks


Suddenly there was a sound – a lull

Soothing… relaxing

The kind that breaths life

And life is a breeze again


Suddenly the world and the flesh awakes

The sound of the keyboard is music

Reflected in silent smile, erratic breathing

And blown kisses to the webcam



Two sublime souls connected by the web

Mediated … surreal communication

Yet, the feelings are real

Emotions are strong

That it transcends the meaning of “reality”


For several hours…. the fantasy lasts

All emotions are felt…

All words were used…

All desires fulfilled

Until the YM blinks

And back to life


The echo of silence is deafening…..
