We’re So Connected, We’re Not: Lament

Instead of scenic views and observations,

we watch reels.

Instead of conversations:

“Look at this.”

Instead of asking and learning:
“Google it.”
No wonder we’re so disconnected
from each other:
We’re too connected
to our devices.
But at least with GPS
men can get directions
without asking anyone.

The empty, aching
yearns have returned. I’ve learned. I’m
past treading old paths.

OR
The lonely, aching

Yearnings are returning. I’m/
past treading old paths.
