Fiber optic cables pulse
with tidbits of psychosis,
petty neuroses transmitted
at the speed of Wi-Fi.
You upload garbage opinions
from the break room table,
confusing having an internet connection
with having a point.
You gluttonously gulp at each reply,
a fragile dopamine addict
constantly refreshing for strangers’ approval.
Like it's ******* oxygen.
You ragebait some other idiot
because silence leaves you alone
with yourself.
And you can’t stand that.
Mustard drips from
your sad, gas station sandwich,
staining the same apron
you're sure you're too smart to wear
You clock back in
still arguing,
still smug,
still small.
