No Harm, No Foul
“Such a cute baby girl”
remarks my mom’s elder friend
to the photo I post on FB
Nevermind the stereotypical blue hearts
and baby emoji with topknot Elvis curl
I “Like” it anyway
It happens all the time
mindless modus operandi
Once I neared a store mirror
and said, “Excuse me,”
before realizing the blonde
lady in the blouse with pink hearts
was me
Half second attention
whole-heart intention
Like it anyway

I like the way this poem moves from the social media world to the physical world, and I like the expression of a positive self image.
Thank you so much. 😊
“whole-heart intention” is a very special thing, indeed. Nice writing, Lori.
Thanks! I appreciate that!
