One morning

he woke up

opened his phone

and something was wrong

no obscene scenes

no nudity

no pointless fights

no strangers

shouting at strangers

no ridiculous videos

made only

to stop his thumb

no scandals

no rage

no one crying

with a camera perfectly placed

in front of them

just ordinary things

someone watering a plant

someone reading a book

someone cooking breakfast

without telling him

it would change his life

people smiling

normal smiles

no filters

stretching their faces

into another species

good news

useful things

high quality contents

everyone looked

positive

radiant

peaceful

he scrolled

and scrolled

and scrolled

then stopped

looked around the room

checked the Wi-Fi

closed the app

opened it again

same thing

he became worried

what happened

to my feed?

where is the chaos?

where is the stupidity?

where is the thing

I never wanted to see

but somehow watched

three times?

he scrolled a little more

a man was teaching

how to grow tomatoes

another was explaining

how rain forms

someone rescued a bird

someone said

have a good morning

he threw the phone

on the bed

and stared at the ceiling

this is terrible

everything

is so good

everything

is so clean

everything

makes sense

he picked up the phone

one last time

scrolled

sighed

and whispered

why is this

so boring?
