Social Media

Too many voices mumbling

all at once, a slide

of drama, cat photos, pictures

of Cousin Amy’s latest meal,

Healthy Pork Chops with Baby Spinach and Quinoa—

the noise of the political

memes, busy preaching to the choir—

friends with other friends

at Caesar’s Palace, drinking

fishbowl margaritas fifteen minutes ago—

all so immediate, all so urgent—

and here it is 2 a.m.,

and I’m still scrolling.
