Bionic
My watch cheerfully tells me the time of day
and reminds me of my upcoming appointments.
My watch suggests I turn left on Lincoln when
I am headed in to work, so I turn left on Lincoln.
My watch tells me it is time to stand up
and I stand until it can tell that have stood.
My watch tells me to take a minute to breathe,
and I breathe deep breaths in time with its tapping.
My watch says I am behind on my steps,
and I step and pace and watch the numbers tick.
My watch interrupts, demands attention like a toddler
pointing out every text and email and tweet.
My watch is concerned that there are storms on the way,
and I feel them rumbling and wait for instructions.
