What’s the cost to you?

What does it mean that i feel more accountable to my Gmail inbox than i do to reading a great book? Checking-in on an old friend? What does this tell me about my own affinities and solidarities?
I’m trying to get my intentions back.
It’s taking forever, and all this paperwork is getting in the way, giving me the run-a-round.

I am centuries overdue for this smoke break.
