screens for faces
every day
I see the footsteps of people
with screens for faces.
concentration fixated
on a 6-inch screen
an implement that pervades our daily lives.
the shuffling of
masses upon masses of walking zombies
hypnotised, riveted to its contents.
it's as if the implement were
physically riveted to their faces.
and, though we're right next to each other...
it feels like we're more distant for it.
