Un/common

just different

I put the seat down, flush the toilet and wash my hands before I leave the restroom. Nowadays it’s something seen uncommon. “I can’t wash my hands with my cellphone in one.. Duh. I’ll do it when I get home, If I get the chance”. I try not to bump into people. At least not because I was texting on my phone.. While walking. I pay attention and watch where I’m going, enjoying my surroundings. Nowadays it’s unnatural, it’s something seen uncommon. I’m an introvert but I’m whacky though, I exhibit extroverted behaviors. Weird , like speaking to people. "Good afternoon,..“excuse me”. Sometimes I dare ask questions like: “how’s it going”? Why are you so shocked ? “strangers are speaking to me”. It’s 2018 and civility has suddenly became uncommon. Was I in a coma ? Is my cat, OK ? Common sense is no longer common. I’ll text you good morning while your lying next to me. Text you an emoji kiss, with a little red-heart attached. I’ve been sequestered from my planet and placed here in this strange land…… The prom king/queen of social media has absolutely, nilch social skills…. In person. Earth swallow me whole. Why is everyone speaking so audibly. My earphones, where are my earphones? We’ll videochat later, yes? This is too much for me right now. You have to find the right persona while you’re surfing the net. Figure out who you want the world to believe you are. All you need to know about life, you’ll find in a “Meme”. Moment of silence. Now my stomach aches. Stay tuned. Imma take a pic of my vowel movement, post it on Instagram, That’s not seen uncommon ….. Is it ?      - L.A.G.
