MATHEMATICS OF OUR CONNECTION



Roughly,
users numbering about
110 million in the US and Latin America
40 million in China
65 million in Asia
20 million in Russia
100 million in Europe,
1million in Canada and Australia
10 million in Africa and the Middle East
and 5 million in other parts of the globe
clog the net at no particular time.

Approximately,
18 percent of the above total figures,
63.18 million may have touched the net
the preceding moment.
(1 moment, defined and measured, varies
along the continuum:
99 seconds for some maybe a long long long while.)

Specifically,
one "Valerie" in Michigan
a figure "Hexagon" in Sweden
a certain "Kazzie" in Ontario
one "Tracy" in Cebu
and yet another "Tracey" in Sydney
a "Screamin'Mimi" in PA
one "April" in KL
a "JoJo" in HongKong, a "Mayfly" whose nest unknown
a "LadyHawk" in South Africa
one "Tessa" in Alaska
a "Domi" in France
a "Spacegirl" in UK
a "Ladybelle" in a state somewhere
a "Laura" in New York
an "Aura" in Davao
an alias "Totoy" in a sleepy Pasig street
a "Ces" in Quez
a number "17380975"
a cultured "sid", a teener "Tom"
two "Tia's" and one "Dee"
a "So-and-So-Forty"... gee!,
the proverbial NetJunkie,
all pressuring the lines enough too heavy.

And you.


You who sit there searching for your name in this page
from among the few
commas and periods and digits and dots;
you who who may sense neither rhyme nor reason
in this mathematics of connection
and relay permutation.

YOU
become the one single reason
why right at this millisecond
millions of net icons flash no more
servers grunt: system overload: internet clog
shutting off sites
halting the sending&receiving of bytes.

All because of you.
The one and only
YOU.





to catch a wandering byte,
we all should be in time;
to find a lost character,
we must find a home --
the Net, our abode,
is a resounding metaphor!
