Each weekend,
I’m left to my own thoughts,
always wondering what people are doing.
It’s just the norm now,
being trapped in my own
suffocating habitat.
In the wild I see people and we
exchange pleasantries.
Why are they called that?
There’s nothing nice about it
when it just reminds me that
everything I have is on the surface.
You don’t get anywhere on the surface.
When the question
of what I’m doing is asked
I say the usual,
this and that.
What are this and that?
I always wonder what would happen
if I just stop texting everyone.
But... I don’t really want to know.
