Six Degrees

One recent idea about how people live
is called 'six degrees of separation'.
The idea became the basis for a play
and then it became a film,
before entering into the woozy mess
of mass public forgetfulness.

Less celebrated is it's older cousin,
who is so old nobody knows how old it is.
It is called 'Six degrees of denial'
and the hostility it hides lurks
in logarithms of our smartphones.
