Oh Facebook, what is wrong with me and you?
Self-revelation leaves me very bored.
The more we talk, the less I say; we're through
Unless I figure why I have deplored

This process which has tried to make me young.
For who at my age would not wish to drop
Ten years or more and finally be the sung
Instead of unsung self, who's at the top

Of his or her best game?  But wait!  The game
Is not the thing, unlike the play, as Will
Has said.  And why would it be such a shame
To quit the game, and play, and call him Bill?

The word's the thing!  I'll make you laugh and face
This book of revelation with no trace.
Sonnet. Teasing Facebook. Love-hate relationship.

Facebook was a tool for glimpsing at my children's lives, this is the portal that does not threaten my position as their Mother...and then I find my peers, my comrades and I realize that it is more than a vantage point, rather a place to converse with people I call friends.
