what’s it all about?

 

 

another thing

 

j’ever notice

that they never look up

to look at the phone?

 

head tilted down,

the obvious sign,

body still,

thumbs awhirl,

faintest breaths…

 

how often have you seen

  someone pumping a fist

    and shouting “yeah!”

      after scrolling down

        one more time?

 

Try talking to that guy

  in the waiting room

    who hasn’t looked up

      from his phone

        since he sat down…

 

think about being him…

it won’t take long.
