Once I read online
that poetry is becoming more popular
to tweet
even if you must write
in txt spk
this stanza shows you 140 characters
(it doesn’t get you very far)
the internet is bad, boys & girls
always giving you something to compare yourself to
or reminding you of what you had
or someone you wish you had back
but what seems to drive people craziest is
messenger

my friend said once that one of the toughest things
about her breakup was
having to log out of her ex-boyfriend’s
Netflix account
lucky her.
thanks for sharing.
sometimes Google writes poems for me
if I type in the first few words
I wonder if
we smile in our coffins
I wonder if
anyone misses me
I wonder if
I’m wasting my time
