getting jumpy
wandering the web, strolling to my virtual parlours
places for earnest conversation, in the midst of bannered spaces
 not
attending to the barrage of ads
competing for my gaze
AND SUDDENLY
a hissing yowl
from under my table
where I keep my subconscious - a tiger by my legs -
and my computer
my heart in my mouth, my connection broken in panic:
a casino pop-under window
sure caught my attention by capturing my speakers
but that's not the way to MY purse.
