Social media observation

I am a woman

I can be sad and happy

Have a PhD and change car tires

Dig garden beds and glam up

Write poetry and mountainbike 

Cuddle in your strong arms

And hold you when you are sad

Make art and binge watch Netflix

Roll up with a book and hike in a snowstorm

Most people online yell at one another 

Because they have forgotten that many things can hold true at once

Because they have adapted their personality to the tiny box on the screen

Just don’t be too much, too faceted, too colourful

Lest the algorithms silence you for not fitting into a tiny box
