We never meant to worship it
But somehow
The feed became a kind of altar
Anointed by engagement
Ordained by likes

I ran for years
Through my twenties,
Thirties
Half of my forties

The next upgrade
The next better version of me……

Difficulty arrives uninvited
A shadow across the path of our life

May I know, at the end of my days,

Chopping herbs for cooking
Watching the dappled sunlight
Spread across the wooden floors
Like a blessing of warmth……..
