It is not a lifestyle I'd choose.
I only happened upon it by chance.
Just a pen and a scratch piece of paper
And forty minutes to spare.
Usually I would tweet.
Read the news in less than 140 characters.
I'd curse my phone for being so slow
and snoop through pictures on Facebook.
But today I'm unplugged.
I forgot my phone.
No news, no Twitter, no Facebook.
No iPod, no music, no Angry Birds.
I've left myself with no outside entertainment,
Only this green pen.
I really thought time would crawl,
But I've only 15 minutes to go.
It's been a long time since my brain has worked,
instead of passively received.
