"Silence"

Now, the weeks go by and it is what it is.
A new beginning, the “New Normal.”  
A much needed trimming of the fat maybe.
The bloat we’ve carried for two decades has had its say.  
We’ve gorged our faces,
Stuffed our guts,
Seduced our egos,
And none of us are innocent of this profound sense of neediness.  
The phone, the posts, the face grabs,
The mangled, manicured pool-side toe shots,
The texts, the updates, the long lines of staged cleavage.
Now! Now! Now! I Want It Now!  
That constant in-your-face means of communication  
High in volume, low in substance
Well, she bit back and left bloody teeth marks.  

We’ve been running too hot, world wide.

Now, silence!  All of you!
