To a Friend

You say you want to be my Facebook friend.

We haven´t met. Our paths have never crossed.

I wonder what has led you to accost

This writer, and what actions you intend.

If I say yes, what message will that send?

Will you then email back some smart riposte?

Online so many nuances are lost.

It´s hard to tell where love and liking end

What is a Facebook friend when all is done?

Sometimes, a future friend in real life.

Someone you´d like to meet, whose words are fun

Or soothe your problems,ease away your strife.

I´ve clicked and now relations have begun.

I hope you´re not a psycho with a knife
