Me and You

A times I scroll around

Knowing there’s nothing to be gained

Time to be lost

Yet my thumb’s gentle motion on screen is addictive

Turning me into a…what did Kanye say was a choice?

Performance art, attention seeking

Love diverted

Contention with what we expect beyond the art we consume

What if I was a monster?

Someone said all artists are monsters

I self-indulge

You do whatever comes into your head first as you read this

I haven’t stopped writing

Have you looked away yet?
