The Facebook Sonnet

Welcome to the endless high-school Reunion. Welcome to past friends And lovers, however kind or cruel. Let’s undervalue and unmend The present. Why can’t we pretend Every stage of life is the same? Let’s exhume, resume, and extend Childhood. Let’s play all the games That occupy the young. Let fame And shame intertwine. Let one’s search For God become public domain. Let church.com become our church Let’s sign up, sign in, and confess Here at the altar of loneliness.
