Something Does Not Compute

Screen time

Screen time eyes; watery red, focused locked

Earbud attentive; what? I can't hear you

Technical migraine, temples throb; output overload

A mouth watering burger; search data pop ups-repeat, repeat...

Burning tomato sauce needs vinegar, computer fixation nearly ruins dinner
