we all witnessed
when it started
like a seatbelt alarm
becoming more and more
increasingly insistent
incessantly demanding
attention
action

we hit the snooze
we hit the booze

biting our tongues
pretending to
chew on it
biding our time
intending to…

yes the right thing
is right there
but to actually follow through
and commit resources
alter patterns
as if we actually cared

so we drowned it all out
with a flick
a tap
every playlist
every thread
connecting hearts and minds
finding followers
alive
but dead

did we really mean
to make this
manufactured monster
simply because it never rots
eventually atomizing
permeating
all physical existence

was that our intention
what were we thinking

thoughts?
