We all have that friend...
the endless stream
of cheerful affirmations
across our newsfeed.

Like sunshine
and rainbow farts
blown from
lavender scented
*******.

One read:
“Do what makes you happy.”

I asked,
“What if what makes you happy
is killing and dismembering people,
and storing their organs
in your freezer?”

She’s not my “friend” anymore.

I cringe, reading
some of the memes,
wondering about
the dangers of
that much optimism.

Wondering if I’ll ever
read about this person
in a front page
news story.
