Easier
Faster
Smarter
Better?
As box after box rolled through our door

Smartphone
Smartwatch
Smartstove
Smartclock

Ok Google
Alexa!
Hey, Siri?

World Wide Web
So much to explore
It’s a real amazon
Thank god no more talking at the store

Scrolling through my feed
Double tap to create a heartbeat
For without followers I’m nothing
Only seeing what #trending

Live Chat
So perfect
For escaping
Living
Met a few guys
Heartwarming lies
I may be broken
But at least I’m ‘liked’

Wait.
I peel my eyes away
What happened?

only to disconnect
Succumbed to be
Cutoff from humanity
A break from reality
So I realize
REBOOTING...
Thoughts erased.
