In Response to Cyberbullying

Alphabetical Disorder 24

 

Apocryphal as spite,

false social media account

purports & implicates,

engines the basic ingredients,

kicks home goals, exclaims

yum yum to suffering,

zips personality into a body

bag — always on the hunt,

traducing through ‘own lips’,

deploying capitals & exclamation

marks. The storm came

though it wasn’t forecast,

sheet lightning sarcasm

while the buddy buddy

republic of letters

caught on & followed

xenologists throughout —

globe-trotting, re-routing,

questing & occupying

(virtually) every outlet.

High fives over drinks,

jolly hockey sticks,

increments of fabulist

lingua franca. Exploration

of those private spaces,

ululating with gratification.

New bullying — cyber & otherwise.
