That millstone
holding you back
begging your eyes
stealing your time.
Can you ignore
a tone or tingle?
Or do you tune out
teacher, text, or talk–
a zombie
tangled in wifi strands
wrapped around
a stone,
glassy eyes held faster
than data transfer speed.

Amazing how many heads are down staring at that bright little screen.
hypnogourds, says i… bah! yet i’ve got my tracking device too…
