Internet Lothario

Beatific youth glowing on the screen
Physique lissom and yet taut
Slick profile scanned
Why not meet such a lothario

skulking in the corner of the bar room
her online Romeo, slack jawed
unkempt with prison pallor
Beelzebub incarnate, she thinks

online Dr Jekyll offline Mr Hyde
hirsute Knuckles dragging
on the ground,

emissary of love, maudlin eyes set upon a fine specimen
repartee and flirtatious chat
photos exchanged, another meet arranged

quiet café perky octogenarian
toothless chasm and milk bottle lenses
gout and foul stench of breath

mecca for the Inadequate and the tainted
the vulnerable fodder for the deviants
miscreants and the dross
an allegory for society
