Should this be an Insta story, or should I make it a post?
A post leaves marks for eternity, while stories within a day are lost.
That stories disappear without much fanfare, gives me much more leeway,
Their impressions won't hound me forever, means I have more and more to say.
Stories are for current followers, I can let my hair down,
Try a few random filters, pout, and act like a clown.
The profile, on the other hand, has to be deliberately curated and fine.
The posts have to attract strangers, who find me charming all the time.
The post is my aim at legacy, an effort to perpetuate the magic,
Of the moment as it happened, in which I wasn't fully present- how tragic,
For in the desire to steal a snapshot, I embellished the experience in a post,
Stories are much less demanding; I need to wear the mask for 24 hrs most.
Let me be the poet of the moment, with stories I don't have to much lie,
As I try to sneak and catch a bubble, hope it won't just pop and die.
