Meta Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

Meta

Fingers do not rest—
an urge to inform the rest
about me.

Yes, I am good.

My dress. My beauty.
My boyfriend.
Everything a statement,
a declaration,
an assurance.

Reassurance wears many colors.

Modernity feeds on messages.
Sound and image flood the phone;
the brain floods too—
dopamine, serotonin.

How do I know I am doing well?

Meta assures.

Meta—
our world.
