b115 (7.3-1.2023): people watch their screens

people watch their screens [i]
by the way…
 
people watch their screens
people drive their cars
obvious/unseen
me, i go to bars
 
some will just ignore it, like a plague or a bad dream
people sip their coffee
people watch their screens

we, the people, watch our screens (at the back end of the runaway train)... unable to comprehend the speed and acceleration of the impending wreckage.
