I’m Not On Social Media

So, do I really exist?

I’m not on social media. A zilch is my avatar
I am not very Meta, I can’t meteor my star

Not on the side of Russians (though they’re not a monolith)
Cuz I do love democracy and free voice is my wish

How does one have a voice, a say? How does one get heard?
without a zillion followers, or posting a single word?

If you don’t Instagram, tweet, or TikTok, are you even real?
If one can’t read emojis, how does one know how they feel?

I guess I am nobody, but there’s Medium and poetry
Please put a message in a bottle, and cast it away for me
