FACESPACE

Using the latest in mobile technology
and a shared social network
I know where you are
most times of the day
and all of the night.
Kinda kinky, huh?

It’s like the police’re watching you
but with less of a sting
cuz it’s only me
and you let me in
to begin with
when we entered FaceSpace together.

Now,
because you have let me
I can see where you are,
and often, who you’re with
and for how long.
It hurt a little
to see you spent the night
so far from home
(was it Mark’s?
The GPS suggested it was Mark’s)
but, you know,
forewarned IS fore-armed
and, with all the information I’ve collected on you,
I feel eight-armed,
prepared to interpret or extrapolate
your every gesture.

I have enough data
to follow your every step
and to predict many of them.
I’m ready to find you and
I want to thank you
for giving me that opportunity.
