Digital Liturgy

A person lying in bed wearing headphones, holding a tablet and watching a video. The image has a hazy, distorted filter with horizontal lines, creating a nostalgic, screen-like or dreamlike effect that evokes digital immersion or distraction.

Existential Inertia, Dread
I cannot leave my bed
So instead

I binge on —
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok
Add stuff to Amazon’s cart
Jump on Temu’s gamified deals
Looking forward to deep discounts

Which means, if you understand
Clinomania is not concerning
I’m free to do as I will

My life’s just fine
I can even attend church online

I thought about using Volitional Surrender as a title too. I consider it a subtitle.

Thank you, Sammi! 😍
