None of my enemies is online

Or so it seems – maiden names bid bon voyage;

whole histories rewritten for Facebook.


They’re respectable now, responsible:

for perfect kids, dream careers, ugly bulldogs.


Here they are, the ones who edited their pasts;

made them up for Instagram, unblemished.


Here are the bullies, bullied by ageing

into sharing only what might get them liked.
