Flickering hues lit all the room: their faces and walls.
They complacently call eachother names like 'babe' that evolved
throughout the years, loud and clear, from the faith they installed
escaping the faults that's made them elated, enthralled,
entangled and caught. They're so close - in separated realms.
Thumbs thumbing the screen - drum thumping machines messaging their friends.
No leverage to their heads: they're glued like Texans to their pelt -
connected in themselves through a cybernetically embedded
skeleton and shell electrically developed between the screen and their eye.
He's feeling sublime, on the couch, reading the lies -
completely online with the The Onion, Wikimedia, Chive.
Their only hope is he notices when she stretches her cheeks in a smile.

So true. So true. Excellent depiction of a real world problem. Also, possibly the soulution lol. Batty and I were talking about this, my wife and I went out to eat a while ago and we looked around and EVERYONE were on their phones. My thought was, :if I am paying for you to eat I should be able to enjoy your company, I did not invite your facebook friends:". Batty told me that he knew of a husband and wife who would literally sit in their living rooms on a couch and talk to each other on facebook. this world needs to be nuked. Anyway...you have skill with wording, you already know that, concise and intelligent, and thank you for confirming my own thoughts about this world. peace.
