It’s 4 a.m. and there’s only one user on line.

Can’t sleep.

Put the computer on.

Log in.

Only me.

Look at the latest bloggs

maybe make a comment

check out the discussion page.

There’s nothing new.

No emails so no comments on my poems.

Bit bored now - dare I post another one?

Just for something to do?

The little box at the top of the page

changes.

Now there’s two of us.

2 users on line.

Who are you?

Can’t you sleep either?

2 users on line at the same time.

4.30 in the morning.

I wonder who you are.

We’re connected and yet we’re not.

If only I could say

I’ll read yours if

you’ll read mine.

Oh - they’ve logged out.

Only 1 user on line.

I wouldn't want to bump into someone I knew on the sites I use at 4 o'clock in the morning!

Although insomnia is a devil if you've got to get up to work in the morning, I find many of my best ideas arrive in the quiet hours.

I think very many of us could identify with this one Anne. Haven't got round to getting any sleeping tablets yet - mainly cos I haven't got time to go to the GPs - I tend to wait until I have a few ailments and then blitz him with a package. Don't be fooled by that users on line box though. For every one user on line, there are probably another 20 not logged in.

Hi Ann - I'd endorse Greg and Christine's comments. Insomnia is a bugger, and this electronic universe we inhabit is a strange one - well done for being so open about it. The GP's given me some Zopiclone which works and has no side effects but I try to take it as little as possible. Take care

Don't feel guilty about your internet addiction, Ann - in case you do - we've all got it to a greater or lesser extent. And if you weren't online so much we wouldn't have such a sprinkling of wonderful poems from you. This one encapsulates something we all recognise. Keep them coming! Greg
