#HEY

#HEY

Hey!

Hey I'm sorry, I was looking at your stories,

a relative of yours died, and I could tell how sad you were by the quantity of the sad emojis, and of the one that cries.

Oh lord, next time, instead, let me see my demise,

before I stumble upon such a saddening surprise.

Nevertheless, I have a poem to write because I am a self-proclaimed poet. That's what my bio says!

So stick with me, my virtual friend, so that I can address you, with this text that rhymes.

You see, these colored circles I have always stated that I despise?

Well now, they do seem so attractive that I can't deny my eyes,

at the content that they hide, at least a gaze.

And it is not my old lovers’ content that I do selectively consume, as my readers would probably assume.

Folks, “Seeker” was a success but a stalker is no longer what I am, my 500 days of summer have met their doom.

I feast my eyes upon videos of influencers,

just to see what kind of thin air they are selling to the followers,

I loathe who they are and there is nothing there for me to admire,

but it is the drug beneath that I desire.

I feast my eyes on what atrocious content the circles have hidden for me,

and I lose minutes, but I'm already invested in my blasphemy.

And I lose hours, but I'm already lost in the pictures, in the gestures, in the talent of the pretenders, in the products of the sponsors.

No, that last line just like this one are merely fillers.

It has gotten harder to fill a text that nobody is going to read, and then to independently sell it,

but it has gotten easier to sell a few sponsored seconds of morning routines and day of the week outfits.

I am not stating that my hobby that I cherish is dying,

but I have seen some make it an Instahobby and do better at thriving.

Anyway, hey!
