Social Tendencies III.

We're an odd bunch of friends

With particular interests and different ends

Talking and laughing about the bends

The ups and downs of life that condescend

Our dreams to be professionals and "in-the-know"

A community we've built that's powered by those

That taught us anything and everything we know

So we can harness that knowledge and make it our own

But we're surprisingly awkward in everyday physical conversations

When we meet - we stand like statues at different locations

We laugh at other people, not at our own proclamations

And then we go home and chat in virtual conversations

It's hard enough knowing that we can never truly speak

And we kill ourselves constantly trying to be meek

To have the courage to walk up to someone, like me

And just say, "Hey, Jedidiah, long time no see."
