Commentary on the addictive nature of social media
I dream of botanicals
Your metabolic processes with their
Viridian pigments absorb light, sustain life
Delicate tendrils of underestimated strength, create beauty and wonder
A testament to the earth
A life within the electrical
Your metallic processors with their pixelated screens, create light, absorb energy
Your apps like tendrils carry me into a virtuality
I can’t look away from the fractured beauty, the unleashed horror
A distraction from my sleep
