SOCIAL MEDIA

There was a time when families spoke
to one another.
It was a time before machines

did the talking for us.
A time when heave was sought
and hell was feared.
A time like the past except
you could touch it.
Breathe it.
Facebook was sitting on the couch
with mom and a photo album.
Listening to your life in utero
and beyond.
I won't lie and wish away modern loves..
I will, however, occasionally shed a tear 
for loss of shared time.
