Friendlier

I know my situation is not unique, but it seemed better to look for the humorous side of confusion rather than admit to complete bafflement in the face of change.

  

 

               Friendlier

 

Today I found new friends

Well, not exactly

I haven’t met a one

But each knows someone I know

And somehow they knew

How to find and friend me.

 

I used to have few friends

And knew details about them

Now I have tons of “friends”

A sky of few bright stars

Is now ablaze with

Whizzing anonymous orbits.

 

I know I’ve gained something

So far it has no name

Am I richer or poorer?

As a challenged older model

Equipped with insufficient bandwidth

I’m reluctant even to guess.

 

No worry there’s an app for that

And I’ll install it now

Soon I’ll report more

On friendship in cyber society

Confusion will evaporate

And I’ll be truly friendlier.

My hope is that you can turn these so-called "friends" into "fans," thereby creating a ready market for your books as these rabid groupies snatch up anything you write with their disposable cash. But beware too much recognition or you will be hounded by paparazzi trying to befriend you.

I hope it works out for you. Will you prefer the 1s or 0s?
