An Ode to Twitter

Plugged in
Besieged by opinion
disguised as true justified belief
wittled down
to 280 characters
Disassociated from the sense of
paper & ponderous introspection
Supplanted by
a million voices reverberating
in a cavernous chamber
drowning in blind replies
talking at each other, but
mostly to the room
a million soapboxes
ingesting words as if picking sushi
from a conveyer belt
knowledge as an act of consumption
