Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is friendship.

Today’s poem is a number and friendship poem about online friendships and the interdependence of selves.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Twenty-seven's often found online

Writing to her followers and friends.

Each thought leaps from her fingers into time,

Now urgent in a stream that twists and bends,

The conduit on which the heart depends,

Yearning for a grace it can't define.

Selves are not themselves till they combine,

Each needing something yours to mirror mine,

Vetting visions through another's lens,

Ending where who knows a person ends,

Never more than I nor less than thine.
