If you found my phone
would it tell you all
about me?
Would my pictures of
stuff I see tell you
about me?
Would my message threads
show the real truth of
who I am?
Would all my contacts
tell you about
my values?
If I delete Facebook,
Instagram, Twitter
and Pinterest –-
am I here?
I’ve grown to know me
nowrather well, now
that I’m me.
I am here watching,
thinking, learning all
about me:
what I value most,
how I ground myself,
how I gauge the world,
new – old things,
all over again.
It’s tough swimming
upstream with this bale
of principles
and facts --
but I am me
and I must.
