Poem ~ Spy's and Doomscrolling
I open my phone and guide it towards the news website
New article 1: Booby trapped pagers kill 20
If this was a spy movie people on Reddit would say it's unbelievable
But this isn't a spy movie and people died
I exit the news website
I open the YouTube app
Video number 1: 10 things to do instead of doom scrolling
I watch this and have a brief moment where I believe I will stop the doom scrolling I will stop the doom
I close the YouTube app
I lock my phone.
...
...
...
Bzzzz
I open my phone
Read the message
I open the news website
Article number 2: exploding walkie talkies kill 14.
More spy shit
More doom
I put my phone away
I load Netflix on the TV
...
I watch the latest Jason Statham spy movie
It's nice to watch the good guys win.
