The internet needs someone to scream. When modems stopped, we began.

First Date We’d so much in common, that was clear from the start: a marriage of souls, like de Beauvoir and Sartre. The connection was instant, almost irrational: simply simpatico, fully compatible. You confessed you loved winter, north Yorkshire, and cats. ‘Me, too!’ I responded. ‘How amazing is that?’ You were wild about Wharton: you loved Ethan Frome. ‘His best,’ I said, thinking I’d read him when home. You praised a revival of Pinter’s Dumb Waiter. I nodded along. I should google that later. The discussion then turned to things that you hated: Pulp Fiction, you thought, was quite over-rated. ‘You make some good points,’ I eventually said. I could always hide that poster under my bed. You spoke of a loathing of poetry that rhymed and I said yes, that stuff’s awful. Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘First Date’.
