Just Like Them

We'll lie on the floor 

You're wearing the yellow hat I gave you

I'm wearing pajamas

We'll facetime and pretend 

We're not just like them 

We're not 

Are we 

If you think about it we might be 

We're only not like them 

'Cause we don't think we are.

  • Fashionably Early

    Everyone could make excuses

    for when the bears showed up late

    to the party

    fashionably late

    they called it

    but when the bears came early

    no one

    could explain the questions

    away.

     

  • Just Like Us

    They're obsessed with social media and two-second dating

    we talk about climate change and ski racing

    they'll talk about what they're supposed to

    we'll talk about the world's problems and what to do

  • Be Bored

    I've been thinking recently a lot about my time on screens, and how it seems like I can't escape my phone and other technology.
