People Collecting

Susan Elliott
Upon the net I did surf
and to the site of Face
I looked upon my profile
seeing only empty space.

With a few strokes from my keyboard
I searched for an old flame,
was rewarded greatly,
with photo, state, and name.

A face, now unknown to me
brightens up my page.
The first person in my collection
rests inside my virtual cage.

Again I go to searching,
through photos, states and names
trying to find my next prize
in my people collection game.

Through luck, and sweet endurance
I search and then I find.
Always hunting my next possession
like a mountain I must climb.

    Barely recognised my first love on fb. The net is a strange beast in so many ways!
