game of cat and mouse

this internet

duck and dive

run the gauntlet

sink the slipper

do not pass GO

do not collect 100 LIKES

do not glance sideways

even for a second

squirrel!

your screen becomes

a forest

full of squirrels

red and grey

and yet more squirrels

eating up your day

going nuts about you

squirreling away your secret squirrels

warehousing

in deep dark holes

logging them for later

for another day

this game of free for all

is not so free

trust me

there is a price to pay

for all that information

flowing back and forth each way

no paperwork

paper? what is that?

to sign

no dotted line

T & C not TLC

but rest assured

you do not own it

don’t control it

have no rights

to exercise

make no demands

issue no commands to obey

no matter what

you choose to say

on any shitpot

blue tick day.
