paranoia

it's nearly impossible
to scrub yourself completely off
the grid.
to hide yourself,
where you work, or live.
social media
is a vine that keeps growing,
pulling you in.
the white pages,
the yellow pages.
the internet.
there is no way to hide.
old friends, new friends.
phone numbers.
addresses.
we are tracked and traced even
unto death
with every stroke of the keyboard
observed
and kept.
there's a good reason why
paranoia has set in.
