“Old Soul” by Maija Haavisto

I don’t have Tinder
but I am on LinkedIn
so you can tell I’m a very old soul
sure, I may not have a family
but I have millions of people
in my 2nd degree network
and if I needed help
they would rally to my rescue
with their likes and emojis
and I’m sure there'd be
a few dick pics among them, too
