Stare like a Moron into your Phone

 

Stare like a Moron into your Phone

 

Staring moronically into the phone

at flocks of black-fly cradling cockroach

dancing Tik-Toks in your bedrooms alone.

 

If your belly is churning, then you groan

for delivery drivers with reproach,

staring moronically into the phone.

 

From those bombers last night, how time has flown,

bite pillows and let hangovers approach

dancing Tik-Toks in your bedrooms alone.

 

Wars rage across Europe in blood and foam,

you paste empty cliché you learnt by rote

staring moronically into the phone.

 

The offspring are empty, running on fumes,

a pitch perfect autotuned world that’s broke

dancing Tik-Toks in your bedrooms alone.

 

Growing seeds of destruction you have sewn

into openings to be overthrown

staring moronically into the phone:

dancing Tik-Toks in your bedrooms alone.
