Alison Sesi – Social Media Dormancy

Gone away,

The absent parasocialite.

Nobody will send out a

Search party

Like they were actually a

Missing person

Unless it can be proven

That there is a human

Behind the account

With a real history of

Life experiences that

Provide an explanation...

Circadian rhythm versus

Algorithm: body clock in

Countdown to shutdown.

Such a frail flight.

All of it.

Alison Sesi is a 62-year-old British teacher and linguist who lives in Dresden, Germany. Although she has been writing poems on and off since childhood, she only really started writing them regularly, and with much more maturity, about two years ago. To date she has had two poems published: ‘Kakhovka Dam’ in the water anthology, ‘Ourselves in Rivers and Oceans’ published by the Wee Sparrow Poetry Press; and ‘The Marabout’ in ‘The Winged Moon Literary Magazine’, Edition 2, themed ‘Ancient’.
