Now what

I see you
upside-down a lot
on Instagram, walking
on your hands, lying
on the floor looking up,
somehow looking down
at me. For what? Judging you?
That's impossible anyway. 
You give everyone the same
look, and it's pretty superior
in case you weren't aware.
And I'm here, wondering
now what? Do I approve?
Am I complicit in this?
What if I'm not? Then 
what? Who the hell 
are you anyway? Who 
is this person?

I used to think I knew. 

When the invite came I was like 
"Oh! Yeah, I know who that is.
How great to get back in touch! 
What a modern convenience!" 
But now I'm not so sure. I don't know 
whether you ever really were who
I thought you were. Really. 

I think you might be somebody else

Now what
