I Can't Quit Scrolling

Poetry written and read by Nanci Arvizu
1

I can't quit scrolling
Looking to see what “my” algorithm
Might show me
Nothing about people who know me
Just stuff a machine thinks
I should know.

I can't quit scrolling
How do people make these
Where does it all come from?
This creative genius
And technical savvy
And why can't I master - Or wing it - too?

I can't quit scrolling
I'd rather practice Spanish
Rocket points on Duolingo
Keep my streak unbroken
Expand my mind, finally learned another language

But I can't quit scrolling.
