Neil Gaiman knocks me out again in "I Google You"

(to listen to this beauty go to http://www.myspace.com/perilyons)

I Google you
late at night when I don’t know what to do
I find photos
you’ve forgotten
you were in
put up by your friends

I Google you
when the day is done and everything is through
I read your journal
that you kept
that month in France
I’ve watched you dance

And I’m pleased your name is practically unique
it’s only you and
a would-be PhD in Chesapeake
who writes papers on
the structure of the sun
I’ve read each one

I know that I
should let you fade
but there’s that box
and there’s your name
somehow it never makes the pain
grow less or fade or disappear
I think that I should save my soul and
I should crawl back in my hole
But it’s too easy just to fold
and type your name again
I fear


I google you
Whenever I’m alone and feeling blue
And each scrap of information
That I gather
says you’ve got somebody new
And it really shouldn’t matter
ought to blow up my computer
but instead….
I google you

~ Neil Gaiman

Amazingly funny and twisted

I thought I was the only freak who could do that but I am glad others do it too and admit it :-)

It's very touching, I'm sorry I can't find the humor because I'm very emotional when it comes to google.... :D

Reena-

of course I do it.. one of the signs am interested in someone (before I even realize it) is when I google them ;)

Nag said...

BooDy, so true :D
