the internet

sadly, the world knows
everything.

your age, your height,
your weight.
where you live.

how much you money
you make.
the schools you've attended.

the crimes you've committed.
where you've worked.

your marriages,
your kids.

the world knows everything
these days.

what car you drive,
what books, what food, what
clothes you buy.

each keystroke a footprint
in the universal
sand of time.

despite how hard we try,
no one can hide. even after life
has ended,

they can find
out when and why you died.

for better or worse,
in sickness and in health,

there is no escaping anyone's
prodding eyes.
