I wrote this in the shower this morning...
"Internet Breakup "
looking back on a lifetime
of hyperlinks, youtubes,
and jokes about boobs
where a grammar nazi's
potshot sees our way into
a world of webby wideness
inside this heart of mine
I still recall the valentine
"I choo-choo-choose you"
and I never thought I’d ever lose you
with references that clever, I thought
the good times might last forever
we wept when Dubya was elected
wept together and bared our souls
though of course, we never slept together
except, in our imaginations, in text
vicarious instant message quotations
our sad simulations of actual sex
so maybe it's better this way, maybe
we're better off as friends, alone
and in the end…
we'll always have bananaphone

Reason: changed "remember" to "recall"
