Anti-social Media

I post, therefore, I am.

Our personas interact with each other 
in an artificial world.  
Flaws or strengths 
erased or highlighted 
or both 
purposefully.  
It's not what I see, 
it's what I don't see.

It's not what people say, 

It's what they fail to say
what they leave out. 

You have 500 friends and yet, 
who are you?

I look and I don’t see...

a puzzle of omissions.

It's not what we say, 
it's what we do.  
It's how we do it.

Who is comfortable?  
Who is not? 
Who reaches out... 
who is reaches in, 
gathers resources, forces 
amasses an army?  

Like choosing sides in Dodge Ball
Who will be first, 
and who, last?  
Who will stumble, 
running from the ball, 
while others watch with relief?

Our slings and arrows 
shoot from our keyboards.
