the addiction

the addiction
is real.

our love of phones.
that

bright smile of a screen
telling
us

we're loved, we're needed.
we're never

alone.

the dopamine, 
the serotonin

streams through our
veins

warms our
shallow soul.

we sleep with it cradled
in our
arm.

we don't want to 
miss a single
ding.

a single
photo or set of words

that's sent from 
the other room,

or from around the corner,
or very far.
