Lines come up again and again like motifs, the language and themes are the same throughout. I plan to sit down one afternoon and read it again straight through, as one poem from beginning to end. I don't know if that's what the writer intended, but that's certainly how I interpreted it as a reader...

I found it so refreshing when I went to see 'Funny People' that Rogen and Sandler's characters were joking on the ridiculousness of Tom from MySpace and Facebook's creator in a fight. This article just reminded me how plugged in we get into other people's lives and stop living our own. Emotional exhibitionism is exactly what social networks get off on.
