Found Poem: Facebook

Found poems are verses culled from an already existing piece of writing. We practiced them several times in my college English classes. For this one, I referred to my Facebook home page, mostly status updates and comments.

What's on your mind?

i don't remember
actually sleeping last night.
back to writing
which is even harder.

up early again.
i suppose i shall take it
as it comes.
why was this so normal
ten years ago
but so challenging now?

i haven't lost it yet.
that helps a bit.
in fact, i do believe
that i much prefer it.

added, added, and updated.
it never matters,
going to or coming home from.
watching, reading, teaching,
i swim for brighter days.

Second day of the challenge and you're already cheating? This is pretty cool, though.
