Missed Connections by Dorothy Gambrell
Online
Out of life
I wander here
I rather wander outside
We don’t have to give
Excuses
For why we are here
We are all types
All different cycles
Stages
In our mind, life, relationships
We wander here
The reason
You may never know
It’s no one’s business
Unless
What’s missed
Is connected
In a way
Known only
To those
That do the connecting
Directly
Or indirectly
But souls may
Just vibe here
In a way
That’s unchangeable
Delusional
Feeling
Fingerprints of thoughts and emotions
And mentalities
Letting them
Float
Along a scrolling line
Of unknown
Lives with dreams
Her Two Cents
We know so little about the people who post to missed connections but this fun little info-graphic provides a bit of insight as to where most of the events written about occur. Knowing that the chances of a message connecting with its intended recipient are small (at best), why are these forums more popular than ever? Is it romantic fantasy, boredom, or a last-ditch effort to find someone to connect with?
