9:oopm, bed.
I put my phone down
Screen side up
Just in case.
Drifting, dreaming,
Free.
Wait,
Did my screen light up?
Is that twitter?
No,
Facebook.
Is it a like? A follow?
Maybe Emma Watson responded to my tweet.
Or a Trump supporter arguing with me,
again.
Ooo I hope it is a Trump supporter.
What shall I say this time?
Maybe
a link to factcheck.org.
Or maybe
attack them personally…
No.
Personal attacks don’t get likes,
They don’t get praise.
You need to be witty,
You need to attack them in ways they
Didn’t see coming.
10pm.
Okay, I have an 8am,
Responding can wait.
No, it can’t.
I’m starting to
Itch.
What if they think my
Silence is
Submission?
No, I can’t.
I must
Respond.
I need to fucking
Sleep.
I’m going to just see it,
Then sleep.
I slide my thumb to the right.
The light of the screen
Puts me in a daze.
My hands won’t let me put
It down.
I can’t stop.
12am.
1am.
2am.
3am.
It doesn’t end.
