The "Whatsapp" Paradox:

I whatsapped you through my nokia

And is it your existence I crave?

Or does my mind order

What is beyond the border

Unseen like the little light bulps in the sky

I whatsapped you through my nokia

And is it your fingertips I need?

Spending minutes on

Semantic and hours on our news feed

And high lights of our day

See my days are all the same

I ask myself questions and I find answers

In the shape of instant messages

Vibrating through my phone;

And as if it’s exhaling some deadly poison

It rings and rings and rings and rings and rings and rings and stops…

I whatsapped you through my nokia

Asking you

“you there?”

But you never answered

Because your iphone cannot show any whatsapp notifications

Coming from hopeless thinkers trying to figure out the typed mysteries of life….

Because your blackberry

Is too black to turn into a satisfactory vision

Of what your future should be;

Because your android

Is practically messy

And willingly complex

Like meteor showers hitting your phone

Every time the truth vibrates

In the shape of unanswered questions

For the answers are there…

But our phones are so smart they hide it;

I wahtsapped you through my nokia

Asking myself

Is my nokia a primitive technology?

A shameful scar on the scale of science

Like syringes ******* all the blood from the unstoppable sweet rush of statistical knowledge

I whatsapped you through my nokia…and all this comes out

Is it me being silly, or us being shallow?

Please do not whatsapp me the answer

For am tired of green screens

And boxed spaces

I need clean streams

Of fine faces

And eyes that glimmer

Rather than phones that shiver…

I shall remind my phone

To remind me

That I don’t need it anymore…
