(anti)social media

Power on
Boot up
White screen 
Dark room

An apple a day
keeps the people away.
So don't try to sell me 
on the idea that 
media is social.
I won't be another product on your
commissions list 
Excuse me miss, 

I live in a world where
trying to release all of my anger 
is done best by
ALL CAPSING
CAN YOU HEAR ME YET?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?

I had to plug my location into google maps just so I could find myself 

Please tell me how hard your life is because your LTE dropped to 3G 

OMG OMG OMG

All while looking at your screen
You say to me

"I tried to slide into her dms, but all she gave me was a 'read' receipt"

she told you she 
forgot to take the pill
you didn't think 
Netflix and chill could
Get that real
But surprise.
Now you're a father
Go tweet about your 
new baby daughter 
submit 140 characters 
to your 263 followers

You tried to connect her through Bluetooth, 
but she wasn't down
With being wireless,
This grind is tireless,
Always calling for your attention
Can you give it a rest for 

Just...

One...

Second.
