NaPoWriMo 2015: Day 17: Adam Online

Adam Online

I don't go on Facebook much any more

And I really don't blog a lot either

So we'll open up the old Google Plus

And see how we can wax poetic

About a guy who's online presence

Is really kind of boring

For something far more interesting

I suggest that you check out a French Canadian cowboy zombie hunter

For something far more heartwarming, you can help save a cat's life

For something more beautiful, you can look at the ocean

But I guess you still want to see

Something about me

I was born gay, and I follow the ray

I love those who were born straight but refuse to hate

Last night I discovered and shared music by a Reggae man named Mike Love

I also love that sassy Adam Lambert

Sometimes I bitch about my ex boyfriend

But I sure as hell don't miss him

Even if she wasn't my cousin I'd still be really pissed

About the hate that radical cool chick The Real Cie has received

For expressing sympathy towards someone whose situation

Is beyond appalling

Cie, don't give up 

Your heart is one of the best I've ever known

You've known far too much pain

And far too little joy

Cie and I wrote a post together

Which exposes our ignorance

Of how the Interwebs work

We're kinda old and out of touch, I guess

Oh, before you click that link

There's a picture in the post of some guy's weiner

We also have kind of an adolescent sense of humor

So I guess that's about it for old Adam's online presence

It's kind of weak sauce

But I have a little fun when I stop by

I guess I'm like that guy who hangs out by the dip at parties

Nursing a beer

And then slips out with no-one really noticing

The Prompt:

Today, I want you to try to write a “social media”-style poem. Namecheck all of your friends. Quote from their texts, tweets, FB status updates, twitter accounts, and blogposts, and the back of the cereal box on your breakfast table. The poem is about you and you are about what you say, think, talk, eat. You might end up with a poem that seems bizarrely solipsistic (like the internet itself, maybe?), but there might also be a spark there of something live and fun and present (like the verbal equivalent of a really great animated cat .gif).
