Quote
A piece of plastic stole an entire species—In lobbies, in the bathroom, in an elevator,Ideas, reactions, and silent contemplations,During lunchtime, during mass, during his funeral, On the street, on break, on duty,Before the waiter brings the food and after the check,While the flight attendant bothers to request airplane mode, While a trafficked victim speaks to you in code,While the potential love of our life just walked past,While mother cooks with a recipe we forgot to ask.

Quote
People used to shop in stores; swiping through hangers, trying on clothes, and being surprised by what looked good on them. Now, clothing is a 2x4 digital image that you scroll past, worn by someone who isn’t you, in a color that isn’t accurate, in a fashion that invites no spontaneity. Our infinity makes us so limited.

Quote
Let us wish that the speed granted by our technologies saves us plenty of time for life ahead...Yet, where to is this destination of life that makes the observation of it so dreadful? The impatient people who rush for the new are like fools chasing a mirror, wondering whose face they’d find when they catch it. Nothing awaits us. Convenience will one day reveal that we have nowhere to go, except towards each other.

Quote
Just because they write something In this fontAnd break apart their linesTo rhymeTo dramatizeTo imitateDoesn’t make what they say true.And quotations marksDon’t make sentences “life conclusions.” A post, a page,A billboard, or a wallpaper—Let it swirl for a fewand if you want to spit it out,V omit.If you want to keep it,Let it ride shotgun.But argue with it first.Debate.Don’t simply accept itBecause you mayBy accidentAccept a monsterDisguisedAs a poem.
