Screen time We need to have Essential Moments of mandatory misery Grasping, tugging emotions Un-liked, ignored emoticons The puffed-green faces of ourselves Dot The landscape and portraits of Screens Screaming at, about, into The refined, together Socially happy selves That we would be, should be If we abide broadcast expectations Joyful, complete, happy, helpful Free… We are not Not always Precisely completed Or so These moments Remind us With beautiful Misery

the selves we project and receive are often not the selves we know in the darkness
