Fantastic poem, in so many ways. The basis of it (which I totally agree with), the execution, the layout, the syntax. A really impressive piece.
Take me back to untangled times - one of the loveliest lines I've read for a while that.
Efff it. Let's tuck it - very clever :)

Brilliant - I totally agree! I've been to a restaurant with friends to find my phone telling me I've got an email, to then find that it's a picture of me sitting there in a restaurant that's now on facebook. I only had the phone out of my bag cos I had problems going on at home...
But really - what's the point? How much less do you enjoy other people's company, if you are forever looking at a phone?
Seize the moment, seize the day - and only when you are totally bored, or have 5 minutes you don't know how to fill, go on social media!

Love the way you have phrased this! I couldn't agree with this more, our addictions to social media are out of control! I know so many people who prioritize virtual life over their real life. Sometimes we have to have to give it a rest

Phil, yes, my trip to California and Texas was great :) Ok calm down now, I don't think that we should literally do away with social media haha. This is just a little frustration and a bit of nostalgia coming through. Not sure if it's the same over there, but here in the states, most people constantly have their smartphones. Even during dinners or mid-conversations, they check their facebook app or one of the others. I am guilty of this at times too :)

I enjoyed this Candice, at least partly because of the challenge it contains. I'm not on Twitter but do enjoy Facebook in moderation. it has addictive qualities and a capacity for undermining simple enjoyment in just the way you describe. "What product are we making anyways?" Indeed.
