‘I’m tired.’
‘You’re always saying that.’
‘But I am.’
‘Really? Is that what’s really going on?’
‘I don’t know where to turn.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘I went into a bookshop the other day, lovely display of poetry, and I hadn’t heard of a single one of the books. Not one. OK, maybe one, off Twitter. But none of the others. I think I’m losing touch.’
‘You were never in touch.’
‘Thanks!’
‘Seriously.’
‘I am being serious. A few years ago I thought I knew what was going on. Now it’s just. Everything! I heard a friend reading a poem the other day. Never heard of the poet. Or their book. I went home and Googled them. Turns out they were shortlisted for something. And I follow them on Twitter! Either I haven’t been paying attention, or I’ve been paying attention to too much.’
‘You were never in touch.’
‘Thanks.’
‘Seriously. Don’t mention it,’ the book says.

But you are in touch. It is they who may not be in touch with you.

The more I use social media the more I feel like this. Switching it all off and going for a walk helps every time 🙂
