I thought the dude was joking,
I mean he was all tore up,
crying like a newborn baby,
as if the apocalypse
had arrived early.
He bawled so much,
it took me nearly ten minutes
to get any answers out of him.
Evidently,
somebody on his Facebook page
had 'defriended' him.
Good ******* grief,
this guy's thirty-eight years old.
Like, really.
cicadas quiet
internet down
phones dead
can’t tweet
nor yelp
4 Square
won’t process
my payments
bluetooth cavities
iTunes tuned out
blogger blogged down
web surf ain’t up
G+ Circles broken
defriended on FB
Outlook e-mails
stuck in outbox
G-Mail postman
not making
appointed rounds
apps won't load
YouTube on hold
my e-commerce
bankrupt
Myspace empty
tumblr stumbled
LinkedIn disconnect
digital blips ain't blinking
not sure if I’m alive
I'm in a virtual
existential crisis
uncertain if
I’ll survive
