Poetry for Our Times

Rosemary Kirstein‘s THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT FACEBOOK:

I
Your farm does not exist.
You puzzle me.

II
I was of three minds,
Facebook, Twitter, and blog.
But it was only one post,
Like a blackbird
Sitting in three trees at once.

III
Sixth grade lunch hour
Cafeteria.
Decibel level = 110.
All my friends are talking at once,
But not to me.

(Continued)

If you have not read Wallace Stevens, this will make the poem a bit clearer.
