A Little Leeway, Please
Smart watch goes too far.
"Ping!" Time for you to
"Ping!" walk, "Ping!" stretch, 3,000
"ping" steps to go. "Ping!"

Praying on the weak
The mirror showed a reflection that wasn’t my own. It showed my lonely chambers, in the back of a cold church. It showed Alby Duncan and his daughter, Lucy, standing behind me. Alby had been a member of my flock so long that I remember Lucy being born. 19 years ago that was. It was always a delight to see them. Lucy smiled at me in the mirror. “Hello, Father Morris,” she says.

It's like being on a very short leash.
This was both fun and irritating - like those watches - not suggesting your poem is irritating, just that it conjured those feelings! Well done!
Fun!!! Love it!!!💕💖
Lol. Shut up, watch. This is great
🤣🤣. This made me laugh. I get so annoyed at my watch when it tells me “Time to stand!” …like come on, you can read my life signs, can’t you tell I need to keep sitting right now?
