A Poem

Instagram partners are a real thing One more Actually, just take like a hundred I can delete them later or just leave them in the cloud 113 different images of me holding this ice cream Actually, this is my second cone because the first one melted during pose 71

Hey, look at that It’s a quote from my Twitter that I put into Canva and turned into an Instagram post I’m quoting myself on my own Instagram It’s not self-indulgent It’s social media My followers like this even though most of the same people follow me on Twitter and Instagram but it’s a really good quote and I’m important

I’m driving my car with my phone out just in case something really, really important happens that I have to know about {scrolling Instagram} I know it’s dangerous and people die because of this every single day but I’m at a red light that just cycled through once with everyone honking and I can’t believe that they were all honking at me Haha, what a dummy But it’s not dangerous I’m careful when I am reading a small screen while operating two tons of metal at 40 miles per hour You should have seen me when I had an iPhone 4 So hard to see but I did it I was careful

I saw it’s your birthday but I’m too busy to call and have a lot on my plate so I just typed HBD on your Facebook wall but like I really mean it from the bottom of my {scrolling Facebook} (distracted) heart So much so that I didn’t even text you because I took the time to write three letters on a cyberwall Congratulations to me for being thoughtful

I don’t care if anyone sees this #carefree #whatever but I’m using all of these #hashtags to help people It’s definitely not about me or getting more followers It’s just that if people see me doing it maybe they will think that they can do it too And when I say it it means a lot of things Like standing near a mountain #nature #mountain You can stand near a mountain too Or like doing yoga #yoga #namaste #flexible You can do yoga too When I hashtag I do it for good Not how everyone else does it

We’ve been captured inside a techno-spastic vortex of compulsive content creation Our lives are content Our moments are hashtags Our attention is {scrolling Twitter} Our attention is {Medium alert} Our attention is #distracted We have lost ourselves
