Why Do People Always Want to Get Together?

I have been called a luddite for years 

because I’ve ruined so many dinner parties 

saying, “We’re all anxious, depressed. 

We all have ADHD because we are constantly 

connected to our devices.”


I am in an existential crisis: 

“Am I 25? Or am I 41?"

What should I work on that hasn’t changed

between those ages, 

between those me's.


I take out my phone,

and take a picture of cheese,

which I post on Instagram,

along with all my hopes and dreams,

only to be distracted by skate videos.
