How unhinged  
how quickly   
I become unmoored  
without the glowing pacifier   
of a smartphone.  
  
How dependent I've become  
on external stimulation  
on haptics   
vibrating my wrist  
on screens flashing  
self-important notifications.  
  
On note apps to scribble  
on reminders to plan errands  
on clock app to set alarms  
on calendar apps, plural,  
to make   
— and break —  
commitments.  
  
But this evening  
it is just   
Me  
my brain  
this journal  
my pen  
and my   
cramping writing hand.  
  
Fully analogue;  
partially hinged.
