False Writing

Who still writes beyond

their 280 characters?

Still taps an extra space

between sentences or

cares for grammar?

These days every word

can be abbr.

or worse, turned into pictures

losing if not their meaning

then their original power

as ancient languages

give way to new

entire conversations are reduced

to nonsensical words like

vibe, ratioed, stans, tracks, based

low hanging fruit

speaking in preset phrases

easily copied or lifted rather than

developing whole and independent

thought, once powerful and strange

original and unique

now in trying to be clever

they fail entirely
