I was sitting on the sofa, on my computer
Everyone wants to be an influencer
Who can capture the most attention
Are your fingers tired from swiping, from scrolling, from typing?
Each thumbs up or notification or orange bell
Each ding, each chime is a flash of lightning
Everyone’s got a story to tell
Even off the screen
In real life, are you blue or green?
I have a million excuses
Going outside and talking to your neighbors and co-workers are the new truces
In my garage sits an hourglass
Outside my window I saw my neighbor cut the grass
Someone wrote what I read
So I get up, mow my grass
And write
Everyone is an influencer
Indeed
