poemings

I wrote this draft as part of a multi-genre research project for one of my classes. 

#istillneedaworkshop

these birds are not angry

they’re all twitterpated

tweeting madly for followers

                John Cleese calls them “twats”

                Hannah Hart calls them “tweeps”

                i call them “fans”

                to inflate my own ego

tweet, retweet, favorite

create a hashtag punch line

hope that the Bloggess will see it

                shouting into chaos

                140 characters at a time

                how does one bird

                stand out from the rest?

at least the mafia requests have died down

should i add events before 2007?

i just edited my subscription to you

                are you only friends with me to be polite?

                what is your subscription to me?

                why did you like this picture

                and not that one?

Mark Zuckerberg keeps tinkering

so hard to control privacy

it’s not just my words, it’s my whole life

                how do i separate the ‘book’ from the ‘face’?

                how do i invite discussion without asking for a fight?

                is it better to be stalked or ignored?

                can’t i just sing my song?
