Our Phones Consume Us
The light
Is
Blinding,
But the words
Are
Clear.
The noise
Has a buzz
To
It,
But the bees
Aren’t
The
Same.
The weight
Feels
Overwhelming
At
Times,
Until you
Drop
The
Few
Pounds.
There’s a nice
Little
Ring,
But it can quickly
Turn
To
A
Nuisance.
The screen
May
Crack,
But we continue
To
Use every
Last ounce
Of
Juice,
Until we have
To
Find a new
Box
To fill up with
The
Same
Juice,
But a different
Flavor
Of
Fun.
A case
Is not
A
Case
By
Case
Guess,
But a needed
Protection
To ensure
Protection
Over
Destruction.
The buttons
Are
Nice,
And we used
To
Flip
For
The
Functions,
But now
We touch
For
The
Tantrums,
Triumphs,
Talking,
Texting,
And
Tweeting.
Our phones
Consume
Us,
Just as we
Consume
Them.
Let the consumption
Begin,
But try to make
It
End.
You’ll find that there’s
No easy
End
In
Sight.
Phone a
Friend:
You’ll always
Find
Some
More
Fun
To
Be
Had.
Hopefully
Reading
This
Puts
The
Perspective
Into
Purpose,
And
You’re glad
You had the chance
To look at your
Phone
And
Not
Be
Mad.
