Phone, Where you at?

I don't think I'm attached to my phone

But whenever I'm without it I feel alone

I got it taken away

I feel like a dog astray

Just listen to what I have to say

Everything goes black and gray

My phone has all the games to play

Without it I feel stiff and tired like clay

At school I walk down the hallway

And someone says," Hey!"

I say," How's your day?"

He says," Good. But why you so look fray?"

I don't know what to say so I just runaway

A Better Me

A remembered vibration

Modern echolocation.

My own find my phone

of a distorted ringtone.

Summoned by a notification,

of a perfect stranger's celebration.

I take a picture, show off a smile,

post it and pretend that's me for a while.

Without any dishonesty,

I think, "That's a better me."

The one in my handheld,

where all ideals are upheld.

Where I choose the actions,

and senseless distractions.

Idle time cannot chew me,

when my phone does its duty.

My constant companion,

the anti-social champion.

For my self floats out there,

Blissfully unaware.

Of the truths of identiy,

The smells, the reality.

Embodied existence no problem,

I hold my surrogate, my modem.

My useful addiction walks always with me,

What I live it lives. What I see, it sees.

It has become an extension,

my best tool of impression.

Stuck

Phone get away from me. I swear I don’t like you. Phone, please go away. Don’t make me click you. Oh, here we go. Attached to screen. Phone, oh phone, you ran out of battery.

Dark

Watching a bright screen, full of color, and lively events.

Imagies of pretty people, and pretty pictures.

Millions of laughs in your pocket.

Watching the joys of the world, in the dark.

Carrier Pigeon

I like my phone.

I can talk to people when I want and not have to wait.

Though I feel bad for the pigeon industry.

They used to be a thriving business for messaging.

Now I see so many of them homeless,

Begging for food around park benches and bus stops.

Phones

I get so prone,

To be lone,

Without my phone.

How would I connect,

To whoever I select,

Without my phone.

Left with no footage,

And no message,

Without my phone.

How to behold,

All that my mind can’t hold,

Without my phone.

I have fun,

Seasons under the sun,

All with my phone.

A pretty clutch,

Gives me added much

My phone.

No Service

Middle of now where

My engine burned up

I don't have cell service

Plans to camp at this hotel

All gone

I'm going to die

All alone

No cell service

How am I supposed to vlog this

How am I supposed to post

My ultimate demise
