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.”
