“We thought you’d like to look back on this post from 4 years ago”

Wrong, Facebook. I did NOT want to look back on this post from four years ago. Though, I am glad I captured the destabilizing, dizzying start of the 2020-2021 Zoom school year in this poem. It feels distant in time, but near to my psyche, always.

A poem I stitched together from the instructions and error messages and chats when we haltingly began the school year on screens.

  1. That was a crazy time, wasn’t it? I’m glad it’s over, though life certainly has it’s new challenges. Thanks for sharing that poem. I actually don’t mind the, “look back at this post from X years ago” messages. I just wish Facebook wouldn’t show me so many ads that make it obvious they are watching my every move, including many not on Facebook. It’s scaring me to death and even worse is the distraction. Ugh.
