The POTW: Verse Til It Hurts

POTW #765
(Week of 22 May, 2011)

Relationships continue to evolve with technology. Or not.

FCC

She wants me to read her Facebook posts
Although we live together
Facebook hears what matters most
Me, I get the weather
Her introspective macro lens
In paragraphs online
Exposed en masse with broadcast "friends"
Intensely intertwined
Her precious charming daily thoughts
Her pleasures and her wants
She wantonly donates the lot
To Faceless Corporate Confidante
O Internet, you dubious flame
I should be sad and bitter
But two can play this lifeblog game
I'm having a fling with Twitter

Subscribing:

The POTW has been on hiatus for a few years now, but you never know when I might pick it back up again. If you use a blog reader of some sort, you can add the poem to it using This Link. Or, if you like, you can have the POTW sent to you by email every week (it's FREE). With our high-tech automated system, all you have to do is send an email to subscribePOTW@phrenopolis.com from the mail account where you want to receive it, and we'll put you on the list. You will receive a confirmation by email, although it may take a while as the automated subscription process is quite complex and arcane. (You can see just exactly how complex and arcane it is by taking our guided tour.)

Buy This Book:

Interested in more? Check out "Ode to the Stuff in the Sink," Dave's illustrated book of "guy" verse (concerning the deeper philosophies of things like not doing the laundry, putting your feet on the furniture, and of course beer) at the Maximegalomporium (our store). And did I mention it was illustrated? Pictures!
