Streaming
The constant flow of data
In and out of our lives
It never seems to stop
Just an endless stream of lights and noises
It seems to be dynamic
In that it is always changing
How much really changes is hard to understand
As every plot twist and turn has already been written
Night or day, unceasing
We try to turn it off
A good eight hours is what they say
Just one more; dawn appoaches
All the hours spent
The passage of time lost in a haze
We call it binge watching
It really is just us wasting away
The seconds of our live are being absconded
We forget that it is all fleeting
To caught up in evasion
We use our screens to run away
Running from our past
Running from our present
Running from our future
We'll just keep running on streaming services
