Went back after a 6 month exile
Told everyone that I had
$8.76 to make it to next payday

Guess i was a little too real

‘YOU don’t have a SnapChat?’
I was asked
‘It’s how us young folk stay connected’
‘You mean disconnected  ?’
I say

Tattooed *** women
With pouty lips
2.2 million Instagram
Followers

Followers of what?

This is the social currency
This is society
&
When you leave
Nobody checks up on you
Nobody cares
They
Certainly don’t give a ****
That I have $8.76
To my name

‘Bring it in for a Selfie fam...’

And I remember pitching in for a 12 pack as a 17 year old
Meeting up with friends
On some country road
For hours on end
&
The only phones were on
Our wall back home
And when it rang
We had no idea who it was
