We will then rue
how much time
we dead-stared
at gripping light
at bright scrolls
& herded bleats
on social media
[how much time
we gave blind to
urges of friends –
apes never met]
Our trivial troop
isn’t pukka fidus
Achates/ Delete
is not an option/
Dead friend lists
will haunt us all –
we will get old &
never know who
is truly breathing
