I know

I know
The rules don’t apply
Waiting for emptiness is tedious
Short meeting are frustrating
At the end and starting new
Unconnected

Wilderness in an urban setting
Surmised and unnerving
Eloquent speech lost on the bewildered
Ardent stare of the eyes

Technological dawn
Enthusiastic disconnect
Growing in intensity
Ultimately tethered by circumstance

Conduits of the needy
Monotonous days
Clothes sweating
Sticky
