Electric Insomnia
woke up from sleepy haze
another day fallen behind
no other to greet my withered gaze

blue hue lighting strikes
swiping up
scrolling down
viewing but yet blind

shallow dating apps
left or right
money grabbing pixels locking insights

feeling their hands for wallets
instant gratification opposed

you must be a certain height to date
how dare one judge to be a certain weight

too much excited fowardness
too little expressive interest
all the same display

ghosts no longer stories nor
terrors afflicted horror
they are ourselves and to each other

theres as many attention deficit disorders
as there are phones
mobile pacifiers
creaking necks commanding low

Was was I
I lost my place
ah yes gentle blow
of my cigarettes kiss

Mazzy Star murmurs
street lights disturbes
million year messages of planets above

perhaps we've become too self aware
too discreet
an aspect of nature created by nature yet unlike anything else nature has come by

animals look forwards, here, now, tomorrow
We're going full speed ahead but
facing backwards the entire time
