Few things are more unnecessarily complicated as school pickup. When I was a kid the bell rang and we left the school. Now I have to scan a QR-code, pass facial recognition protocol, enter a rigid and incomprehensible caravan of SUVs, and wave to 600 faculty. And just try to vape while waiting.

Once upon a time, TV brought us together. Now it’s just vibes, algorithms, and 14 open tabs. I wonder: Did we binge ourselves into oblivion? #PeakTVPanic #ContentComa #ScrollCulture #StreamingFatigue #WhatAreWeEvenWatching #TV #writingcommunity #TVsky open.substack.com/pub/mikespry...

It's not that it's all too loud or noisy or cacophonous. On one of these days, it's that it is. It is existing and I have to hear it, think about it, care about it. Gnashing teeth. Today's poem: "Spring Mouths" tinyurl.com/2s4632zu #poem #poetry #spring #poemaday #writing #poetrycommunity #poemsky
