Oh, radiant sun!
I explore this new morning
Weekend sans Facebook.

Suspicious birdsong—
Noisy swallows retweeting
Fake news on a wire?

Faceless in this crowd,
Bewildered I meander…
No one needs a like.

Frantic for caffeine,
I dash into greasy spoon,
But I can’t “check in.”

Foreign face in toast
Conjures Instagram moment—
Also deleted.

Toxic media,
Begone from my existence!
Not you, silly blog.

Present in present,
I incubate baby pomes,
My little Om-lettes.

    The cartoon Paula is sitting in a yoga pose.
    Does that mean the real Paula is doing yoga?
    If so, Yay!
    If not, there’s always tomorrow. 😌

    I really love this. There’s so much depth, it’s packed with meaning, but it’s also fun.

    I came back to read it again. 😊

    You have a gift, my friend.
