Desks
1-hour classes
Seats bearing our weight
All day every day
When we stand,
Toes tingle like jellyfish
Tentacles

Still, sedentary
What's on Netflix today?
Suddenly
Our legs
Become useful for walking from chair to chair

It's a plague.
As our minds supposedly get brighter,
Our eyes dull and
Our vision narrows to a
Single screen.
Talk about an epidemic.

Yes, we are addicts, and
That is quite sad.
But the saddest thing of all is
We have forgotten to live
Forgotten to stare at the sky
Instead of check our emails
Forgotten to dance
Forgotten to
Slow

Things

Down.

If babies that are born
See mommies and daddies
Addicted to chairs,
Then there is no chance
That they will become
Sober.
