a key to the heart

we pour our hearts
into the internet
open to gentiles
as well as scholars

are we embarrassed
ashamed of ourselves
or reach for delete
to erase our shame

perhaps we are too smug
to destroy the record
of brag and blog
and are not timid

journal, diary, or blog
we try to disperse the fog
of anonymity
so we hit the save key
