Footprint

Public parents provide

Zero chance.

Echo chambers can make one forget the permanence

Of the internet.

The more minute the shares,

Your arrival is just another, along with

Firsts- steps, potty, words.

Be mediocre, no exceptions,

No exceptional mediocrity.

Less demand, less to share.

Better to share less with

A fleshless footprint

Formed in adolescent muck

Where moody tides shift earth

And erode the bliss

Of anonymity.

Cover your footprint- stick emojis on

Fresh faces

Stick it to Meta.

Ask your little ones if

The internet is right

For them.
