Our Screened Faces
April 5, 2019
We’ve got YouTube and iPhones,
But what happened to you and I?
We have Facebook, but are we
Showing our true faces?
Snapchat? We’re going to snap
If we keep chatting like that.
Twitter? Yet we ignore
The birds tweeting outside.
Connection?
ERROR.
Paradox detected.
Tumblr? Our relationships
Are tumbling.
Reddit? We’ve read it more
Than we’ve read any book.
iPad, iPod, iMessage on iPhones.
It’s an ‘I’ generation.
We’re more connected than we’ve ever been.
Yet we’re lonely. We are the loneliest we’ve ever been.
