“selfie nation” poem in a sketchbook from Autumn 2018

i’m terrified of notifications,
so i just sit back and pretend that communication isn’t a measure of self worth in this generation,
born a citizen of the selfie nation,
though i’ve always had trouble leaving mirrors unscathed and,
i can’t help but feel the same devices that connect us dissect us,
upset us, redirect us, disconnect us,
do our profiles truly even reflect us?
maybe i could profit off an internet project,
hypocritically preaching to sheeple,
pretending my philosophies haven’t been pondered by previous people,
could you creep your head up from your i-shield?
peepers up,
for 99 cents could you please listen for three minutes to how i feel?
