Bum Dealers

a strange land exists,

without borders

universal language spoken

peopled by faceless beings

or those with other’s faces,

all unknown all secluded,

there is trade here, a trade

in emotions distanced with

cyber sincerity,

the timid secure, contained

thrifty with contemplation,

the commerce of confidence

a currency won and lost

in anonymous gameplay,

beware the gamblers words

regard their eyes not hands

is the deal fair?
