Take Your Earbuds Out
I am talking to you
Let me see your eyes
I am a human
Trying to connect with you
Another human
Look up from your
Youtube
Game
Music
Video
Turn it over
Turn it off
Think, ponder
Be something more than an open receptacle
For mind-numbing content
That someone else pours into your brain
now trained to sit, stay, obey
Take your earbuds out
Look up, listen to the wind
And marvel at the wild geese in formation
Flying overhead
