On Facebook, cats have been deemphasized.
We only see them from our closest friends.
You think they swarm you, but you’d be surprised:
on Facebook, cats have been deemphasized.
The bots climb trends. Cambridge has analyzed
our timelines dry. Here come the flaming hands.
Where are the cats? They’ve been deemphasized.
O, let me see them. Let them be my friends.
