S & M?

'Hell talkt my brain awake.' - John Berryman (Dream Song 30)

*

Dear cellphone,

You have ruined my life

based on all your

treats and toys

(an incredible lie

of silent noise).

*

Dear Facebook,

A letter for you as well:

you can go to hell

for wasting my time

(here's two whole rhymes).

*

Dear Instagram,

I already wrote about you,

so I won't say much

(listened to and repeated;

you may be seated).

*

Dear Twitter,

You are the worst.

Blue check marks or not,

I follow and remain

(fully there; not as a plan

or Elon's fan).

*

Dear Snapchat,

I never used you,

never saw any point to it.

So, little from me

(that seems tame

without some blame).

*

And to the rest of you,

conducting S & M:

you really did not see

those hard initials

(sado or masochist?

You made my list).

Thank you for reading!
