This one time




This one time
I was surfing 
through the social media
and then my gentle fingers
scrolled my inbox
all names were painting
colourful reveries 
suddenly a text popped up
saying "hi, wassup"
a name , an old friend
to be treasured like 
an antique piece

soon fresh was the past,
the unending chats 
the shares, the online games
the binge on the burgers
the laughter,the lunch walks

I was about to reply
but next text of 
"I need a new job"
and "that one document"
washed out everything
Smartest phone beeped
"you are HR professional,
you are a 'network'
not to be befriended
just to be "utilised"

I smiled and replied
"surely, can help".
