Indium, trying
 to get through

Janet Kuypers
10/3/19, poem on Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr

We live on smartphones
& watch movies,
share pics, send texts,
& swipe on our little screens.
When I finally realize that you
are just on the other side
of my screen — I panic.
I move my fingers,
failing to get through to you.
Why give me what I need,
if we’re meant to be apart.
