I\u2019m not engaged<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single.<\/p>\n
For two days Facebook made me<\/p>\n
look engaged,<\/p>\n
but I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single.<\/p>\n
It was a game<\/p>\n
when I hit a button<\/p>\n
and it would tell me<\/p>\n
how my 2023 would end<\/p>\n
ENGAGED in bold letters<\/p>\n
it read<\/p>\n
and that\u2019s all my friends saw.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not engaged<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single.<\/p>\n
The piles of hearts comments<\/p>\n
and Congratulations wishes poured in.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not engaged<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single.<\/p>\n
At first I assumed<\/p>\n
it was my poetry Haiku award,<\/p>\n
I was being congratulated for.<\/p>\n
Then I saw it<\/p>\n
the picture with the oversized ring<\/p>\n
and it looked like my hand.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not engaged<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single.<\/p>\n
Then there was my profile picture<\/p>\n
from a Meet and Greet with Jason Cerbone<\/p>\n
aka Jackie Aprile Jr on The Sopranos.<\/p>\n
We looked like a couple happy with our smiles<\/p>\n
except he\u2019s married and has a daughter.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not engaged<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not<\/p>\n
still single<\/p>\n
like a newspaper headline<\/p>\n
or billboard announcement.<\/p>\n
I have the best Facebook friends<\/p>\n
for thinking I\u2019m a good enough catch<\/p>\n
for Jason Cerbone.<\/p>\n
