Obituarybook

As we get older our perspective changes

Is it us that is aging or is it the the earth and her patience with us

Facebook used to be mainly cats and babies

Fresh and new and proud

Sweet and full of laughs and sometimes 

A little bit of embarrassment for those that hang their laundry there

But now I feel - as though the ‘book has become an announcement page of Death

Who has died today we ask as we scroll through the doom

A celebrity or friend

Or both

A family member long estranged 

Or all three

Obituarybook holds far too much loss for me

I tire of this game.
