Social Tendencies II.

People swarm in and out with their faces in screens

Not casting a glance; too obsessed with the memes

That drop on Instagram and whatever media app

It takes their attention away with a snap

I live in this sea of endless laughing and texting

Where people spend all their time commenting instead of resting

About all the selfies that pop up in the morning

You know what I did last night? I had to deal with your snoring

I'm not saying that I'm not also addicted to it

The dim lights of the phones that make the night look lit

But I hate avoidance, when you shove me away

While talking to your friend in London for the whole day

You spend your time training those long, nimble fingers

To comment kissy-face emojis on pics of your favorite singers

You call it showing support; I call it revolting

Looks like this endless cycle is never halting

I feel so misplaced; it's actually frightening

Maybe I'll get an iPhone: You know, to counter the sound of the typing.
