we are glued

to pieces of glass

sitting on top of metal

and flashy lights.


we are glued

to things that make us laugh

the things we see

in our tiny light boxes of wonder.


we are glued

to our control,

because without it

we fall.


we are glued 

to the way we look

standing in the mirror,

hating our faces.


we are glued 

to the past,

even though we constantly worry

about the future.


we are glued 

to our ways,

even though we want to believe

we are free.
