Oh, Holy Social Media: A Sonnet in VII Parts

Oh, Rectangle, oh! So like me, so! Your blue light fills my night— with outrage and delight.

And when we fight, Lord, let me know — Rectangle, tell me, will it snow?

And Rectangle, oh, make me a star — bring men to their knees, show me videos of bees, and in return, I’ll share fresh veggies!

Perhaps Rectangle, even soon, I’ll meet a man; he’ll make me swoon.

And then our thumbs, in unison—together but apart.

We scroll and tap together now — it’s crap — oh Rectangle, oh, you silly sap!

I cannot focus, as of now. But perhaps I shall… first one more video of this baby cow.
