So Many Updates

I blinked once and the world flipped twice

Phones are smarter but I’ve lost my spice

They say upgrade or you’ll fall behind

But my heart’s still running on dial-up time

So many updates I can’t keep pace

Every click feels like a new rat race

So many updates

What’s the big deal

I miss the days when things felt real

My fridge talks now but I can’t reply

It knows my snacks and it tracks my pie

Every gadget’s got a brand-new voice

But the quiet used to be my choice

Swipe left swipe right what’s the next thing

Is this progress or just a digital fling

So many updates I can’t keep pace

Every click feels like a new rat race

So many updates

What’s the big deal

I miss the days when things felt real

They say I need a patch to my soul

Download the latest to feel whole

But I’m here buffering on my own

An analog heart in a silicone zone
