we could wake up
and realize it's a real war
one of every fourteen
people in the world
on facebook
it's a worry
our shifting notions
of privacy and revelation
our sheer self-display
this sophomoric enterprise
this billion-dollar fiction
we create of ourselves
this waste of time
zuckerberg likes
ender's game
no other books
on his profile
he stole the moment
not to mention the idea
people just submitted it
i don't know why
have you nothing to hide
be wary like zuckerberg
prepare for the day
the power goes off
risk humility solitude
the unmarked block
with nothing to say
risk silence
