octothorpe

Well aren't we the fancy ones

we might as well wear stoles
and elbow length gloves
and smoke from long gold holders
in top hats and tails

we are the bon vivants
we are Waugh's Bright Young Things
writ new

we flit and flutter
social media butterflys
flying by
with
twaddle on twitter
that makes us
giggle and titter

on the search
for the next best thing

we voraciously consume
wanting the shinies
the sparklies
the tinselly tinkly twinkly things

all for ourselves

and once
the tinkly twinklies
trickle down
we drop them

apart from the proles
and the trolls
is how we roll

and we publish
our findings/our failings/our futures
with brevity and emoji and an octothorpe
and think
Oscar Wilde
has got nothing on us
#LOL :)
