The updates on the you-man race Are not on Facebook But on everyday’s experience. I suspect the stuff we put on Facebook Is the fluff of vanity, The stuffing of an ego’s voice, An ego’s voice which shouts “Remember me! I’m here for all to see, So look!. It’s me on Facebook!
One way or the other, Here to brook the only-ness of loneliness; Give solace too, To other you’s whose anonymity, Like yours, is reaching out,
Updating, (which I do as well) Is microscopic in the walls Of our existence, when Resistance low, It needs to show the sides it needs to show, Albeit photo and/or poetry.
That’s it! So, know That it’s attention To ease solitude and tension, Reveal the art of us, in us, for us. The part of us that sits at home; Updating not just fact but artifact, A partial of the parcel That is you.
