Feeling empty. 
Check social media

Everybody so happy, so fulfilled— 
Close IG, close Facebook, close TwitterX
Surf internet 
Deals, DEALS, DEALS—

How did they know I needed that!? 
“Three left in stock” 
Gotta have
“Sixty-five people are currently viewing this product” 
Gotta have. Something, anything, to fill this emptiness
Hold it. Wait. Stop! Need to think…
“Take another 10% off at checkout” 
Now! Hurry! Click to get there
“Expedited delivery?”
Yes! I want it now!
“Your order is complete”
YES!
Close tab, rub hands, look out window
Feeling empty. 
Check social media. Everybody else so happy—
