Wake Up!

a friend named Connor

was walking the streets

around the Lower Eastside

early morning

on his phone

went to step across the road

felt a hand on his chest

“don’t go”

it was Morpheus

the actual Morpheus

Lawrence Fishbourne

saved his life

because two suburbans flew right by

would have taken him to another life

but Morpheus showed him a better way

“stay off your phone man”

and that’s how my friend Connor stayed in the matrix

with the rest of us

trying to wake up

maybe today, "stay off your phone"
