Pandemic Poem a Day, Day Four

 

CAREENING THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA

 

I’m SkypingFace-TimingWhat’s Apping.

Soon: Zoom, with twenty-four squares.

At a poetry reading of one hundred,

I page through screens to find friends.

The woman in Wales where it’s midnight,

parents in Ohio watching their daughter

in Wyoming present her work, Ted’s siblings

show up (same last name at the bottom). 

Then I sit in a meeting about our new platform

one we stand in front of.                    Zoom

is out,             zooms off.

I wave as though to a departing colleague.
