sideshow

some mornings i browse
your lives
on social networking sites
examining photo albums and blogs
of all you wonderful people

and you seem so desirable

in expertly framed pictures
chronicles of a good life
in places designated exotic
mindful arrangements of a hug and smile

in slideshows of self-happy
perfectly constructed euphoria
and careful status messages
to reflect just enough of reality

snapshots- like a veil
that reveal only the necessary
hiding the truth and ugly
sometimes both at once
