emoji

some like
the emojis, the smile,
the frown,
the tears, the praying hands.
the snarl,
the kiss, the happy
face.
it's childish,
but it fits who they are.
not good with
words, or real
emotions, unable to say
what they mean
face to face.
they need cartoons
to express who they are,
how they feel
in the moment.
true words are dead.
poetry
and expression.
emojis are the new
hallmark card, sappy
and gooey.
