I’m absorbed, all sucked in,
reality is put on a spin,
Earthquakes you say?
I feel nothing!
Then the phone rang, “Ring, ring, ring!”
“Son!” Mom yells. “Leave the house!”
But to me, she’s silent as a mouse.

Suddenly, I rumble, tumble,
My eyes are fixed, so I give a grumble
I roll my eyes and wave it off,
Inhale debris and give a cough,
“This earth is such a drama queen,
her tantrums will soon break my spleen!”

My fingers fly at speeds of lightning,
My concentration almost frightening,
I press send and smile in glee,
My friend just replied to me!

I look up, the world is ending!
At the same time I was sending,
And I noticed nothing...

Because I was on facebook.
