notifications fail
A short poem about social media validation, fading expectations and the unsettling silence behind the red notification bell.
i put the fire
to my last candle
from Playa Del Carmen
&
i don’t really care
for the notifications
the red bell lighting
not much
expecting
55 friends
and not 1 like –
when i log on
the church bell ain’t ringing
for me.
but i
heard that red bell
come in like some
devil thing –
self esteem thing –
when you high lights
induce serotonin?
like orgasms
hell give more
crimson likes…
but
the church bell
ain’t ringing for me.
55 friends
and i ain’t
expecting
though….
