facebook: is it like marmite?

My sense of time has greatly altered in the last ten days – since my watch battery died.

I am rather enjoying my un-manacled wrist.

Somehow I feel I have more time, these days.

So I have been filling it with facebook.

I kept away from it for years. Then I signed up last autumn, just to look at some photographs

Now I don’t know how anyone lives without it

There are events and opportunities that would otherwise pass me by, I am in touch with people across the globe, I see photographs. Jokes. Meet new people. I feel part of a larger poetry community.

But I don’t like how it calls to me at all hours. And divides me from the Twitter-lovers

And warps my sense of Space.
