Yesterday I forgot my phone
I didn’t feel all alone
I didn’t miss interacting with social media
Or checking out holidays on Expedia
No need to look every second for mail
Or whether on eBay I had made a sale
Didn’t matter how many extra followers
Or Catch Up watching an episode of the Borrowers
No need to play Words with Friends
Or looking for the latest Twitter trends
A check for hits on my blog could wait
Or recording on Lose It my current weight
My online bank account wouldn’t change
Could exist without knowing the sterling exchange
Didn’t need to snap every waking minute
Or that my credit card had hit its limit
Life could go on without another notification
Or checking on Facebook a friend’s vacation
House prices didn’t collapse, not checking out Zoopla
Or buying trash on Amazon that you thought was super
Used my brain instead of looking up things on Google
Had a debate about the many ways of spelling McDougal
Yesterday I forgot my phone
I didn’t feel all alone
Instead there was animated conversation
A heightened sense of relaxation
Conversation flowed with ease
Devoid of this 21st century social disease
