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.
