Pixelated Priorities
Split screen attention
Flicky fingers
Making happy noises
Charming and robotic
Singledom is wasteful
Spread you attentions
Like chicken legs
Focus is for the old
Not the mickey mouse club
Multi-task like the pros
Who never misses an opportunity
To tell the latest news
As tweets become emergencies
Limited series
As condensed and harried
As my dwindling attention span
That moody pup
That hovers next to master
Staying home
Like moldy unused potatoes
I press next episode
Skip intro
Half-aware of my fingers
Twitchy and fat-assed
I live in front of black screens
Cave-like and shadowed
Trapped by red lined time
Wasting half-baked longings
on unmasked blue lights
