Online – offline

With equilibrium you walk
along a tightrope safe and high.
Along a line, if not a dork,
you even hop should you so try.

But to go online is a risk
if your steps are too fast,
because you cannot always whisk
the order that is cast.

The offline modus seems secure,
the world-wide web far, too,
but press one button and the lure
of catching fish gets you.
