I
I feel caged in the morning
The first impulse I feel is a notification
I grab my phone
II
I feel smarter today
The first thought, I will write on my notes
I grab my phone
III
My grey matter stopped its chitter chatter
The battery’s dead, it needs a leash
I grab my leash of a charger and become a slave
IV
196 countries I see
7 billion faces glee
7 trillion ideas I consume
but does my brain contain that much room?
V
I tie my button while pushing on another
I tap the door while tapping on my phone
I scroll down her body while scrolling down another’s
I live in two worlds which
a Gemini of a device unfurls
Oh, you just summed up my mornings. I’m chained to notifications. Tech addictions!!!!

oh yes, we make a device to free us, and become enslaved to it! our brains may burst but the heart has room. really like the folding in of zodiac. good poem.
Thank you erbiage! True that
You captured many peoples lives in these few words. The attachment we have to new technology is sometimes more enslaving than liberating . It makes you think..

We are controlled by square inches of seemingly demonic technology…
