trapped
stuck
in the collective trance
of technology
plugged into
wireless
a non-verbal communicative state
of tapping at keys and screens
where emotions are expressed
with emojis
instead of facial expression
the art of language lost
into abbreviations
OMG
PLS
stop TXT
and talk to me
or anyone in your vicinity

dare you
to disconnect
step outside
raise your arms to the sky
breathe deeply
and revive
awaken
to the universe’s energy
