the kids dont
the kids don’t fall in love
like they used to
don’t Jlo Miami Glow
spritz their love notes
don’t pass love notes
hand written
kids these days
send texts at a distance
love
is way less exciting
wrapped up in
digital addiction
let the vibrate go off
and beg to see his name
if only for an instance
then wait
play attachment theories
at their bestest
and when things go sour
delete message threads
to leave no trace behind
move on
to the next digits
kids these days
only know digits
can’t recall paper folded
fortune tellers
don’t fly paper airplanes
don’t M.A.S.H.
their futures
bright
or grim
14 kids and counting
kids these days
don’t
peppermint patty
don’t know how her story goes
that day she was walking
don’t secret handshake
and spin
end it with a five
then a ten
don’t dance on the playground
for no one to witness but them
only live for tik tok...
