I Don'T Understand Life
A friend once told me
That I don’t understand life.
I didn’t believe her
Until she handed me her phone
And told me to text somebody.
I asked how to use
A touch screen
So she showed me.
I typed out
“This is Jessica
Apparently I have to text you.”
It took me ten minutes.
Then I realized that the way I’d typed it
Had no spaces.
I asked my friend how to do a space.
She told me I was stupid, but
Showed me anyway.
Then I asked,
“How do you send it?”
My friend looked at me like
I was speaking another language.
Now I do believe my friend.
I don’t understand life.
