e·mo·ji
ēˈmōjē
noun
a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc., in electronic communication.
Emojis......
The first I saw one,
You had thanked me for a good deed.
Emojis.....
The second time I saw one,
You had thanked me for a favor.
And these emojis,
Theyre so disorienting
Its a first
A boy sending them
Perhaps I am looking in it too much
Maybe Im looking for something, hoping for anything
Maybe its all in my head
Maybe I want
Something that isnt there
A mystery to pester my brain
An assumption
That may pull me down.
These heart-eyed emojis. It pulls at me.
