Dear Facebook:<\/p>\n
at this point<\/p>\n
you seem futile<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I feel guilty<\/p>\n
when I forgo breakfast<\/p>\n
to read your wall<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I feel guilty<\/p>\n
when I clean house<\/p>\n
and delete people<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I thought I once knew<\/p>\n
in high school<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I feel guilty<\/p>\n
when I write a poem<\/p>\n
and use you<\/p>\n
just to get it out<\/p>\n
to other guilty writers<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Oh poor Facebook:<\/p>\n
you\u2019re an old<\/p>\n
used-up lover<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My wife glares at me<\/p>\n
when I ignore her<\/p>\n
in favor of you<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The she turns around<\/p>\n
and uses you to get back at me<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dear Facebook:<\/p>\n
you crazy old slut<\/p>\n
you absurd floozy<\/p>\n
you free love loose-lipper<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
please learn some restraint<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
