Is my use of devices divisive?
Do my apps all my time seem to zap?
Does my tablet distract me from talk at the table?
Am I able to tech with some tact?
Do my selfies intrude and cause tension?
From pursuing my screens must I wean?
Has my staring impaired all my care and attention
That friends are left feeling unseen?
I’ll trade FaceTime for time face to face
From my scrolling, I’ll go on retreat
I will meet when I can and embrace, and say, “Love you!”
Emojis could never compete
So my friend, help me tech with more tact!
And take a crack at that “digital etiquette“
Just a sec- let me check- did my phone just get hacked?
Never mind! What’d you say? I forgit!
