Social media helps us all connect
as slowly we all lose the skill to relate.
We have a hundred or so
friends that we see every
detail of their lives in images
rants and memes. But all we
really seem to know
about them is a very
carefully curated version of
their filtered lives. We are awed
when they divorce their perfect
spouse or end up in rehab.It is
the lie we believe to be truth.

there is no ink between those lines
so sit beside me, put away your ire
no whitespace to read, everything's fine
It's been a long day and we're both tired
even now, golden is the light to be seen
windowed breeze blows fresh to inhale
now breathe it deep and let us convene
refreshing now, we swap accounts to regale
and feast upon our time between
the past we knew and a future awaited
even now, seems we're sittin' midstream
in a life that cannot be overstated
how utterly great it is experiencing now
with you beside me, even better somehow
