Spiders
and the
BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH
have a special place
in the part of my mind
that obsesses,
contrives conspiracy theories
and researches
how Facebook orders my chat list.
So I should stop drinking
quad-shot mochas
and staring at flickering screens
and checking my phone.
But I should also stop riding
bikes without brakes
and going for walks at night
and avoiding my friends.
And should stop watching stories
and start writing them
but I want to know your story.
I want to hear your song.
I want to watch her and her soul mate
make eyes at each other
and smile
and reminisce.
Give me the answers
but don't make me
ask the questions.
I won't open that chat bubble
no matter how long
that green light is on.
I promise.
I'm trying.
