Ghosts can’t tell stories
I
Now search the deceased
in your omniscient search box;
grieve your lost likes.
II
Sad face the obituary.
Now you can miss the funeral.
Check for updates.
III
Timehop memory,
because ghosts can’t tell stories,
but do keep thumb prints.
IV
Do continue stalking
the bereavement of a group
known as a friends list.
V
You really are helping
by poking them into posting
painful pictures.
VI
Post how you knew them,
because ghosts can’t tell stories.
but you can send hearts.
VII
Click right and ‘see friendship.’
Share your brief interactions
to archive your grief.
VIII
Keep looking for grief.
Retweet deep quotes on death.
Follow the close family.
IX
Thank your tired thumbs,
because ghosts can’t tell stories.
But they are online.
