i sit awake in an empty room staring at a screen while she lies awake in another room staring at a screen i slowly wake up roll over in bed stare at a screen she's already up eating oatmeal staring at a screen i pour my coffee sit down with my cereal staring at a screen where'd the day go? already late afternoon staring at a screen i refill my water gulp down some health staring at a screen a neighbor drops by just to say hi and stare at a screen time to prep dinner need a recipe so i stare at a screen chop chop chop cooking up a storm staring at a screen sit down together sharing a meal staring at screens scrubbing the pots drying the plates staring at screens plopping down on the couch resting from a long day of staring at screens crawl into bed kiss goodnight stare at a screen

staring at screens
i sit awake in an empty room staring at a screen while she lies awake in another room staring at a screen i slowly wake up roll over in bed stare at a screen she's already up eating oatmeal staring at a screen i pour my coffee sit down with my cereal staring at a screen where'd the day go? already late afternoon staring at a screen i refill my water gulp down some health staring at a screen a neighbor drops by just to say hi and stare at a screen time to prep dinner need a recipe so i stare at a screen chop chop chop cooking up a storm staring at a screen sit down together sharing a meal staring at screens scrubbing the pots drying the plates staring at screens plopping down on the couch resting from a long day of staring at screens crawl into bed kiss goodnight stare at a screen
Are the screens staring back?
