“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
