It's nine pm

"Alexa play the Laker's game"

"No song called 'the Laker's game;"

"Alexa play Tune-in the Laker's game"

"Dangers of the internet"

"Alexa, turn off the radio

On goes the tv.

Soccer, soccer, soccer

My stomach tightens

I am not paying more to watch the game

I feel numb. Does the word play insinuate a song?

What word am I supposed to use?

"Alexa , what station is the Laker's game on?"

"ESPN"

"Alexa turn on ESPN on Tune-in"

The game plays, I relax, and breathe.

The ease of technology- an anger in my heart
