OK / Crap

At first
I think it’s OK

But
Looking again
I think that it’s crap

This new chair that will break
This cigarette that will burn
This phone that will out-date
This glass that will drain

Like my attention
Like this time I live in

Like the
Want you
Miss you
Love you
Hate you

It is just wash and repeat

This need to be liked
This desire to share
This reality warping
This social vacuum

Yes
I know

That is how it is

To expect something more
Would be more foolish than hope
