A signal bounces off orbital transmitter
Laden with pictures of cats by the litter
Zeros and ones that make faces in books
Instructions from chefs on the best eggs to cook
Letters of love transmitted by waves
that crash through our skies in these strangest of days
And into our quiet and solitary rooms
Where walls ring with laughter and recommended tunes
Of another whose buttons are pressed from afar
Two strangers tied together facing
screens in the dark.
