To the Girl on Facebook

By Rod Parchman

To the girl on Facebook with the pretty face that my eyes seem to be addicted to,

hi, you don’t know me, but since this social connection has us so-so connected I’m just trying to be social in hopes that one day we can be connected, and that’s it, you see I have no agenda, and no false hopes of falling hopelessly in love just dinner, and maybe a movie, as long as you’re not turned off by the fact that I like your posts, heart your pictures, laugh at your jokes and do everything in my power to get you to see me except poke you because that shit is just creepy, and I’m not stalker, just a secret admirer with an otherworldly desire to invade your space even if it’s just cyber, so I won’t be complacent but if I’m still a hostage in your inbox then give me the blue pill so I can escape this matrix, cause I’m a long way from home, but this is not a distress signal just addressing you casually actually I just wanna be in your galaxy, phone, you see we can text first cause I’m no pro on being social nor am I an expert on where to start, cause this network has us so close yet, worlds apart.
