Hey breeze!
Did you come and go away?

Were you here
with the whispers of tender leaves
and the fragance of summer flowers?

Were you here?
Couldn’t you have knocked on my door?
Wasn’t I just a knock away?

While I was inside
the house of my own business,

Minds stuffed
down their throats.
Digital devices
dipped to their guts —
like pipes.

Predigested scraps
fill bellies.
Unsatiated windigos,
craving forever more.

Sedatives for sanity.
A numbing supply
of entertainment.
