In a fraction of a lifetime
I’ve aged many
Friendships supposed forever
Have long frozen in photos
I can barely recognize
Memories once light and effusive
Have turned black and viscous
An undifferentiated mass
That evokes nothing
Mind fastened to glowing screen
With endless things
Enslaved beyond redeem
Promise and potential abandoned
At the altar of expediency
A restless soul rendered inert
By the sheer drudgery
Of trudging along interminably
