PINGED: “Tonight I was scrolling through lots of selfies on Instragram, wondering what I could possibly find… They really struck me–in the large groups in the # categories–as narcissistic in the most boring way.” -LB
I took a trip to the selfie
She was not ready to be filmed
I’m not made up for Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Vine, Instagram
She said
INstantly self on display
INstantly selfie was not self
“Give me a minute to put on my fake
I mean my face”
He said
I left the car running
Idling on the off ramp
Are you ready to see the real self
In a self-ie
The one unadorned
By the lies you tell yourself
The lies to live for the theys
Aren’t your muscles tired
From all the politicking
Of your beautiful
Doesn’t all that extra work cause premature aging?
But then
She got in the car
And she was refreshingly real
He came with her
No bull in his baggage
There were only the two of them
But it was a powerful start
And selfie was not so full of
Of
Selfie
