No Battery (poem)

By Luke Labern

I heard three quick rings --
A knock at the door, two notifications
And twelve tweets to spare.

I unplugged the phone, closed my
Laptop and silenced the iPhone -- but I'd forgotten
The biggest distraction was still there.

No unplugging of electricity
Or discharging of a battery
Could quell a beauty with
Brown eyes &
Brown hair.

If you wish to discuss my work, or its themes

While I no longer stand by the work itself, the themes remain relevant: the meaning of life, finding purpose, exitalism, philosophical depression, nihilism, and the eessential questions of existence.

I was, and remain, open to discussion and to advice.
