Geeks Who Love Tech

They are pale
and easily get out of breath;
hours & days & weeks
in front of their computer screens
has stolen their wind.
They are tongue-tied
when f2f with
a flesh & blood woman
IRL.
Amazingly the
hours & days & weeks
sitting in darkened rooms
bathed in the light of their screens
as they destroy their enemies
on the newest game and
latest system
has not improved their social skills.
It's as if females are not impressed
with how many games they've mastered
how many levels they've completed or
how many digital enemies they have demolished.
New gizmos make them drool.
The want--the NEED--
for the newest gadget
overpowers them;
when they get a new tech toy
they are in nirvana.
Their spirits are uploaded
to a dimension of satisfaction
no mere fleshy human
could ever
send them to.
