No Dogs Allowed
Words by Bryon Bowers
no dogs allowed
no long pony tails
no tattoos on your neck
face or your arm
spill your milk carton
on the shiny immortal's floor
here's your access badge
and your self worth dollar
real connection…
lasts through space, time and death
when someone sees you with their eyes
they truly see you…
you can feel their mind rolling on yours
a moment of unease
then comfort
In the connection
the mingling of laughter
twinkle in an eye
happiness bubbling under the surface
hovering above the water like 2 dragon flies
Mating on the backbone
Death soon in their eyes…
we would die without the glow of the screen
the constant dopamine
Injected into our veins
riding that digital train
get off as soon as you can
cuz this train's not stopping
until you lose your soul…
Give it to me
Give it to me
Give it to me now
Glow of the screen
"Put it down right now…"
"I would if I could…
But I don't know how"
