So Many Straws
The modern man and woman and all the in-betweens gravitate around a detaching virtual universe. Despite all its predicated vitues...
Distant lonely birthdays weigh heavy on the soul.
WhatsApp calls promised so much, but they end up delivering so little.
The void grows deep; the absence consumes like a flesh-eating bacteria.
Virtual hugs and cake taste like nothing;
Imaginary toasts leave an even more painful hangover.
Digital Christmas dinners; fake smiles; half-told truths.
Computerized existences that break a camel’s back one pixel at the time.
Simulated burials that numb the senses
