I’m standing beside the ocean
trying not to check my email.

I’m sitting in an airplane
looking down at the tops of clouds
trying not to check my email.

I’m being lowered into my grave,
arms pinned to my sides,
eyelids sewn shut,
trying not to obsess
over who might
or might not
have responded
to this message.

Ummmm. Can you two actually see these sort of stats, or are you just making a YouTube-reference compliment (in which case, thank you)?

Thumbs-up this comment if you think Chris' poetry is wittier than a Justin Bieber-slandering meme.
