Beep

Beep Beep
Two Beats triggering action
Announcing the arrival
Of a new interaction

Eyes darting back and forth
Brisk glances as time halts
Impatience and wonder growing
Deferring attention at no fault

Society has programmed us
To instantly react
When the tone is delivered
The notification will attract

All of our attention
Abducting our precious time
At the mercy of our habits
At the sound of the distracting chime
