Longing for connection

human being create a world separated from other creatures

concrete jungle

cement house

sanitary room

we are so separated

while longing for connection than ever before

instant connection

intense connection

wifi

video call

live story

liberal sex

multiple sex partners

threesome four-play

our bodies have never been so close before

exchange liquid

exchange virus

our hearts have never been so far apart

we talk to chatGPT about heartbroken experiences

ashamed of asking friends for company

rationalizing everything

ignoring our feelings

when everything is connected

nothing is connected

when nothing is free

kindness is called superficial

sincerity becomes questionable

in a society running on trust

we don’t trust

we control

control freak is a 21st century virus

when lights diminish the darkness

day ever lasts

night never arrives

on a burning planet

there is no retirement.
