facebook feed freudenschade
i don’t want to be petty
yet mountains that scar the sky
with their antique beauty ;
greens so lush they eat the eye ;
fifty more snapshots of the Grand Canal ;
or the view after hiking the ruins
of once mighty Machu Pichu
give me nothing except
a vicarious envy i wish
i could hide — but can’t
The title grabbed me immediately. Facebook does lead us into a bit of envy, I agree. Selfies everywhere, and I wish I could be there in those places. Then again, I miss out on where I am at the time. I sighed reading the numerous photos of the Grand Canal and “once mighty Machu Pichu.”
These are other points I really enjoy here:
-succinct wording that captures the emotions clearly
-“greens so lush they eat the eye” oddly seemed exquisite but not painful (eat and lush make for a lovely pairing)
What fun to travel now, or just take a walk away from technology.
