what time is it

no one
asks you
for the time
anymore.
and neither
do you.
everyone
has the time,
the date,
the weather.
the news
all in their
hand.
they even have
directions
as to where they
need to go.
there is no
need
for small
talk of this
kind. it's
best to just
walk and stare
into the phone
alone,
and the world
strangely,
seems no
worse
because of it.
