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.
