Fugacious
As quickly as it came, oops, now it's gone
You had it for a second but you couldn't hold on
But how could you hold on when it's fleeting?
Not many are learning but Aquarius is teaching
Got 'em
Smiling after a nice hit of dopamine to the dome
Heart emojis and likes galore on the phone
But what about a good old-fashioned warm embrace?
Social distance widening while authenticity has been displaced
Got 'em
Like Pookie, "It just keeps callin' me and callin' me", I can hear people say
Hungering eyes and jittery fingers anticipate another hit to come their way
In the pocket or pocketbook
That itch, that thirst that can't be shook
The good old hands keep turning on the clock
Meanwhile, craving and anticipating another Tic Tok
Got 'eeeemmmm!
