Conclusion

In the era of digital communication changing the way that human beings connect with each other, 'Conclusion' tells the story of a poet defeated by the role of technology in an ill-fated romantic relationship.

The poem makes the case for respecting our emotional landscapes with conversations in the flesh, in particular through relationship milestones.
Told from the perspective of queer polyamory, 'Conclusion' highlights the importance of enhanced active listening and boundary setting in arrangements involving more than two people.
