cyber addiction
obsession
poisonous radiant glow in the dark
guilt & lethargy
socialization fading into a silent tweet
self-justifying & defensive
chat blog text skype
muscle-memory
guiding hands over keys
pressing buttons until
nerves numb
escape into the pixels of infinity
meld into the hot plastic
the processor and cables
metal and polymer
a signal from another place
an alien cloud
waves and particles
unseen
create worlds unreal
ideas
emotions
overflowing
overwhelming
anonymous words
flesh of the fingers calloused
eyes unquenched and raw
compulsion takes over
needing
the validation
recognition
a comment on a blog
a "like" on a status
social acceptance
via anti-social medium
a paradox
