Out of my life
But still in circuit
Stalking your profile
Social media style
I keep tabs on your likes
Your comments, your little world
Exposed
As I watch youÂ
And watch you
And watch you
In a Zen like state of
Non caring
as Graham said, is it an ambiguous 'I don't care' or a true one? or is posing the question the whole point?
An excellent thumb-nail sketch of internet voyeurism, and its possible addiction. A modern topic very well constructed. I can understand 'boredom' as a motive, but 'anger' is something else again.
So true for many people today. And I admit I do this myself at times. And I always question why???

Hi Graham, The Net's opened up the world for voyeurs, peeping toms and just about everyone who gets a perverse kick out of getting little glimpses into complete strangers lives and drawing parallels with their own worlds.
I sometimes do it because I'm bored. Or angry. Or just curious about some interesting people, so it really is ambiguous, my reasons why. Thank you so much for reading!
This piece raises an interesting subject about just how much one can find out about people (on the Internet) without really knowing them.
Interestingly, I think reading people's poetry can give enormous insight into different lives (a little like thumbing through someone's music collection).
The stalking, watching, watching, watching in a Zen like state can also mimic the passivity of staring at a computer screen, trance-like.
But do you really care? or are you really saying you don't.
This is truly ambiguous.
