The reality in front of me is ignored
as soon as i open up my laptop-
Addiction is a killer.
Or so i have heard
from my beloved
online safety haven.
us with our own circle in hell
with our own sick and twisted desires
and with our unwound moral
compasses, spinning like a ballerina
wavering, like she is nervous and anxious
on the world stage, eyes looking straight through her
and she knows, she knows that the eyes are meaningless and cruel
and yet she cannot help but crave their presence, their reassurance, their approving nods and silent praise.
i suppose my cravings are not equally matched
i take more and more, until my eyes roll back
and for a brief period, washed over with a blanket of contentment
but the blanket is ripped away suddenly-
and the harsh light of day dawns upon me
and i am going to be late to school.

Let me sell you a fraction of truth
slanted to fit the froth-rage box
you live in
I’ll dress it in grave tones,
even implicate a scapegoat
so your priapic blast
has a focus
I’ll use fonts from Comic Sans
to Times New Roman
to ensure you bite the hook
When you look in our mirror
the hate will be palatable,
tasty,
wholesome
and as we gorge we’ll starve

Three dented cars when
a tree fell in the forest
- No one was hurt
