the internet

loop

I’m using the internet
because I can’t sleep
and I can’t sleep
because I’m using the internet

caught
in a refresh cycle
updating
every
page
in the hope that something has changed
but nothing has

and when something is looked at this closely
this constantly
the illusion is created
that nothing ever does
nor ever will

slowly limited horizons

i used to go to hundreds
of sites
across what felt like the limitless expanse
of the world

now i look at twitter
half heartedly
for twelve hours a day
