I can already hear Sting singing the refrain.

But what if this is the first of a hundred-million bottled messages? Perhaps the inter-connectivity social media platforms promised us has only further isolated us? Maybe we are all “castaways, looking for a home.”

phone vibration

the next notification

grabs my attention

Virtual company, yet

still the loneliness abides
