L.O.L.: A Poem For Our Times

L.O.L.: A Poem For Our Times

“L.O.L.” she said to me

“What?” I said to her

“L.O.L.” she said to me

“What, what is that?” I said to her

“You know, like ‘laugh out loud.’” she said to me

“But you didn’t even laugh.” I said to her

“You looked right at me and didn’t even laugh.” I said to her

“It’s just a thing… something to say.” she said to me

“Words to fill the emptiness.” she said to me

“You know, you aren’t exactly easy to talk to.” she said to me

“What the fuck?” I thought to myself as she walked away

“Fill the emptiness?” I thought to myself

“Hard to talk to?” I thought to myself

“At least I emote.”
