Lost in the detail
the news box jumps
into shudders of frenzy
Erratic loose bumps
unarmed with spiritual
context. Mind humps
matter mechanically
repeatedly aggressively
exhaustingly inconclusively
Algorithmically lumps
worldly with worldly opaquely
in ever thickening clumps
while scrolling thoughtfully
a nervous heart unsatisfactorily
seekingly nervously thumps.
