COMMENT

like a writing prompt
but for emotional rides
gmail search “how are”


confirm or deny
insta story commenting
is people flirting??


snapchat locations
hows that been for everyone
feels pretty safe right


given its whole deal
the miranda of websites
goes to webMD


carrie is twitter
samantha’s of course snapchat
charlotte is facebook


waiting for a quiz
like “which tardigrade are you?”
buzzfeed wya


there’s so much online
that we forgot new planets
in like seven hours


knowing what to tweet
a guide to modern dating
a book by no one


at a funeral
standing near the casket like
“me waiting for love”


around the graveside
people crying and going
“us just missing brunch”


sea levels rising
seeing it wreck beaches like
“me in my one piece”

during a breakup
them walking out and going
“me when dana died”


at exorcism
casting lukewarm water like
“your takes on Westworld”


getting arrested
being handcuffed and going
“me to twitter me”


at a murder trial
during closing statements like
“me about your favs”


you have to admit
shookus was not our best work
re: its potential


don’t respond to texts
just pivot to video
watch your life improve


even with practice
you don’t write profile bios
you settle on them


a dotbiz sighting
like a bald eagle in flight
rare and majestic


instagram stories
lessons of impermanence
and also of thirst
