Staring girls with weird names

make me feel like racing away,

but Yavi says he owns a computer,

and has IntERnet—global, not just

the island’s local IntRAnet!

So while my sister tries to show me things

she thinks are interesting—like her school,

a park, the post office, a church—all I can do

is hop up and down inside my mind

while I wait for a chance

to run across the street

with Yavi, and sit down

to face familiar flares

of dragon flames, roaring

from ravenous mouths. . . .

If there’s a forbidden satellite dish,

it must be well hidden behind all those

flowering red flame trees, yellow hibiscus,

and purple jacaranda.

But the connection is dial-up,

soooooooo

SLOOOOOW

but still

so amazingly

satisfying!

Now here I am, right back where I belong,

inside my normal world, the cryptic one

that’s hidden deep inside

this computer screen.
