no one even takes a crap anymore
without their fucking iPhone!
the other day, i was at Target
and heard someone
making a conference call
while having explosive diarrhea!
what in the hell is going on
with our world
that people are expected to take care
of two types of businesses at once—
so much so
that they compromise
their personal hygiene!
if there’s one message that, as a poet,
i need to urgently drop
it’s to tell motherfuckers
to get back to going to the bathroom
the old school way!
don’t worry! other people’s shit can wait!
