I am lying on my belly while giving my two cents,
and I just rolled my eyes at that one guy who likes Mike Pence.
No one can hear me burp or see me eating;
this is way better than an in-person meeting.
My responses are thoughtful and I am on a roll;
they asked me to share and I am baring my soul.
I stare at black squares and blank expressions when all of a sudden,
someone interrupts with, “Hey, you hit the mute button.”
