Attention

The psychologist told me 

That the social media algorithms optimize for short term attention,

And that if I want to feel better,

And not let another day slip away,

That I have to mature,

And limit my screen time. 

. . . I nodded in silent agreement, while thinking about what I was going to get for lunch after he was done yapping. 

      And a few hours later,

           I had forgotten what he had said.
