I Enter…

I enter… ( the online dating world of The Cyber Mermaid )

A public gallery
A viewing den
A screen full of men
Row upon row upon row
Of men on show

Round and round they go

A ‘Happy Fishing’ merry-go-round
An arrivals and departures lounge
Checking in, checking out
Love or lust bound

Round and round they go –

…Selecting
Connecting
Rejecting
Disconnecting…

– like contestants
On an elimination show

Extract from The Cyber Mermaid, modern dating diary. ‘Happy Fishing’ is the fictional dating site that features in the diary.
