Crab Claws

Fingers at a loss
Of words. Now I can’t type.
There are crab claws instead.
Snap?
Snap.
Dipped in bowls and buckets of water
Meal after meal.
Lemon scrubs with seeds.
Hot to my skin.
How do I grab a keypad and write
Type. About the loss of
My spine. 33 vertebrae in working condition
Belonging to my 24 year old body.
(But only for this lifetime.)
A red balloon with a roguish smile and ten teeth
(Drawn with black marker)
Stole it.

Can you please catch it and send it to me?
My crab claws can grab it.
(Don’t just upload round stories of it on Instagram.)
Please?
Please.

Birds and squirrels with cute teeth
Balloons and art with paints three
Long lost friends and random birthdays
Crafted mental health and bad days
Products for elbows, hair, knees
Outings to cafes in times like these
Archived posts from yesteryear today’s
Branded posts on my pay day
Planets and spirals of dust
Emotional quotes with an aesthetic photo is a must.
Comics about cute little animals, celebration
And then, some posts from my organisation.
Fan posts and kdrama fan art
All synchronised to the trending beat

I spend hours looking at these useless posts
I am a fish caught in the hook of an ungrateful host-
Can we stop with the mental manipulation, Instagram?
I think I have forgotten how to spend my own time-
Is my own time mine?
