Today,
I was photographed and fingerprinted at the bank,
videotaped buying tampons at the grocery store,
and tracked by GPS through my iPhone.
I left emails floating like angels in the cloud.
I received recommendations from Amazon,
suggestions from Netflix,
and friends from Facebook.
I must be safe and somebody, now.
Eyes covered -
the privacy of a dog.

Safe and Somebody? Either/or, not both. Not even.

So true Mama Zen....this is brilliant!!!
yes!!!! It was only 2 years ago that I got a cell phone- who wants to be so accessible and visible anyhow?
Excellent!
I love the idea of hiding like a dog. As if when you can't see yourself, nobody else could either. Nicely written.
They're everywhere .....
