Complacently Distracted Poem by K.T. Matias

Tweet, Like, rinse, repeat.
Pin, Swipe, rinse, repeat.
motivational quote, selfie, rinse, repeat.
minor outrage, newest controversy, rinse, repeat.
New meme, new fad, rinse, repeat.
celeb gossip, repost or bad luck, rinse, repeat.
Feuding families, public slander.
constant distraction, dissociation from reality.
Time gone. Time wasted.
But did you see this meme?
No- How are you? No, how are YOU really?
Have you been working on your goals?
What are your biggest frustrations right now?
physically here, but mentally surfing the World Wide Web.
So many meaningful words unsaid.
So many meaningful connections passed by
we walk, head down, absorbed and illuminated in a six inch light.
Ignore physical you, rinse, repeat.
Talk of nothing consequential, rinse, repeat.
Life controlled by pocket sized electronics,
Rinse, repeat.
