Where did the time go?
I lay down, already twenty-
two. Memories of years past
flood in- it was like a
month ago I visited New
York. No, a year?
Where did the time go?
I ponder while mindlessly scrolling,
instinctively- unaware of what I
see. Hours of hours seeking the
small hits of dopamine that seep
into my brain.
Oh, that’s right- addicted
to my phone, unaware the
Earth sped up its rotation,
days shorter and
shorter,
filled by gray screens
in this blue world.
