Power On/Power Off
The setting
How do I turn it
OFF
When we're all so used to being
ON
The LED screen burns bright blue into strained eyes
I don't count the hours anymore because then I could
Quantify
How much of my life passes as I scroll page
after
30 pages x 3 chapters x 5 days =
Divided by?
They say I should stop planning as much
Each 30 minute block of a
twenty-four (24) hour day
doesn't need a
Label
But if I spend more time planning and less time doing
Then maybe this is where I achieve my CTRL
And ALT between work and life to achieve balance
Schedule in 15 minutes of nothingness
Making sure to DEL the busyness
So here I am, the first week of summer break, and I am finally
Off.
…
Rebooting…
Loading…
On.
On.
On.
On.
