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 anticipating 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!
