At first I thought this was a poem to a former lover, human one, that is. And I winced because I'm going thru a breakup I didn't instigate...but once I caught on, I was cheering. I saw so much of myself, my co-dependence on those likes/claps whatever, in your manifesto. Although like you I'd write regardless.

Still I must admit I do enjoy the connecting with other poets. Like you!
