Tap my “off” switch
– “I’m sorry, the device you’re using is
Disconnected.”
Quick, wrap your arms around me,
Perhaps warmth will bring me back.
Maybe we should try music or
Dancing – do you feel anything yet?
Plunge me into ice water instead,
Hold my breath for a little while
– Wait, don’t drown me!
Should I try caffeine? Widen my eyes
To drugs and brighter colours.
A photobook, will that ground me?
Fill me with nostalgia or a fever-dream haze.
Are you connected yet?
