My fraternal female doppelganger half my age...

A Poem by matthew scott harris
"

an friendship of sorts sprouted when an unknown (and unnamed gal) sent me a heart emoji thru signal app, & no idea how she came upon that information, but interestingly enough she lives fairly close.

"

initially signaled me a heart emoji
upon texting each other
we learned how our respective lives
tantamount to existing in a cat bird cage,
hence we became
a virtual sounding board
to each other analogous as equipage
the equipment, outfit, or furnishings
necessary for a specific purpose,
such as a military expedition,
a ship, or personal travel
(exempli gratia, carriages)
encompassing provisions
both the gear needed
for a task and, historically,
a carriage with horses
and servants, or
a set of personal items,
and within approximately
a little more than a fortnight
already we didst engage
strictly thru the
cell phone and mutually gauge
that if opportunity arose to rendezvous
cautious optimism would
(by George) rocket us
into a shared airspace
after launching into
wuthering heights
shucking off cumbersome carapace
though invisible
to any casual observer,
a weighty cumbersome
of countless accoutrements,
nevertheless reveals a complex edifice
which warrant singing
the praises of amazing grace
to be sung Capella
where deafening audiological
sound-waves did interface
good vibrations to keep at bay koobface
(Worm:Win32/koobface -
a worm that spreads
by posting messages,
containing a link to the worm,
to the pages of other contacts
on social network sites
such as Facebook.com, which worm
can download and run other malware
that could include updates of the worm)

one of the first known computer virus

hook, line and sinker
takes residence in the noggin
highly contagious to human beings,
which parasite as iterated
lodges in the brain

buzz-feeding on the intellect
causing ensuing drain,

yet interestingly enough
what effect appears authentically
to cause one to fain
and experience an amorous swoon
in truth and at base a ruse
optimally, essentially and actually
inducing the one affected
disguising him to feign,

no matter gifted
and hashtagged Hussain
since his birth
an Arabic male given name
meaning "good," "handsome,"
or "beautiful," often interpreted
as "little handsome one"

who fell in love with a girl name Jain

within whose bosom he dreamt
24/7 and eight days a week
he fantasized for whom
he called as a pet name eel lain
analogous to a palliative
more potent than novocaine
to assuage previous
love of his life,
whose recent death
from unknown causes
induced heartbreak and pain
and became morose and melancholy
after watery precipitation
fell from the sky
cause the drops
reminded him of Rain

thus to cheer downcast spirits,
he read excerpts of Mark Twain
paging thru his well thumbed
copy of Roughing It (1872)
frequently cited as Mark Twain's
most purely humorous
and rowdy book,
offering a chaotic,
comedic account
of his misadventures
in the Wild West,
including tales of stagecoaches,
silver mining, and the famous
"Celebrated Jumping Frog
of Calaveras County"
and characterized early,
rambunctious, and witty style

thoroughly invigorating
without being vain.
