Hail Caesar

the dating sites,
such as they are,
made you Caesar for
a day,
or queen.
swiping left or right
on each
smiling or unsmiling
face.
too fat.
too skinny. too far.
too old,
too young.
what's with the fish
you're holding,
the baby in your arms.
the piercings, the mustache?
too smart,
too dumb.
too much like the ex,
too much like your
dad or mum.
thumbs up,
thumbs down. so many
lost and lonely
souls to choose from.
like searching for a needle
in a haystack of needles.
throw them to the lions,
keep scrolling
further down.
