"
Look
Up
"
by
Gary
Turk
I
have
422
friends
,
yet
I
am
lonely
.
I
speak
to
all
of
them
every
day
,
yet
none
of
them
really
know
me
.
The
problem
I
have
sits
in
the
spaces
between
Looking
into
their
eyes
,
or
at
a
name
on
a
screen
.
I
took
a
back
and
opened
my
eyes
,
I
looked
around
and
realised
,
That
this
media
we
call
is
anything
but
When
we
open
our
computers
and
it's
our
doors
we
shut
All
this
technology
we
have
,
it's
just
an
illusion
Community
companionship
,
a
sense
of
But
when
you
step
away
from
this
device
of
You
awaken
to
see
a
world
of
confusion
.
A
world
where
we're
to
the
technology
we
mastered
Where
information
gets
sold
by
some
rich
greedy
bastard
A
world
of
self
interest
,
self
and
self
Where
we
all
share
our
best
bits
but
,
leave
out
the
emotion
.
We're
at
our
most
happy
with
an
experience
we
share
,
But
is
it
the
same
if
no
-
one
is
there
?
Be
there
for
your
friends
and
they'll
be
there
too
,
But
no
-
one
will
be
if
a
group
message
will
do
.
We
edit
and
exaggerate
,
adulation
We
pretend
not
to
notice
the
social
We
put
our
words
into
order
and
tint
our
lives
a
-
glistening
We
don't
even
know
if
anyone
is
listening
Being
alone
isn't
a
problem
let
me
just
emphasize
If
you
read
a
book
,
paint
a
picture
,
or
do
some
exercise
You're
being
and
present
,
not
reserved
and
recluse
You're
being
awake
and
and
putting
your
time
to
good
use
So
when
you're
in
public
,
and
you
start
to
feel
alone
Put
your
hands
behind
your
head
,
step
away
from
the
phone
You
don't
need
to
stare
at
the
menu
,
or
at
your
contact
list
Just
talk
to
one
another
,
learn
to
co
-
.
I
can't
stand
to
hear
the
silence
of
a
busy
commuter
train
When
no
one
want's
to
talk
for
the
fear
of
looking
insane
.
We're
becoming
,
it
no
longer
satisfies
To
with
one
another
,
and
look
into
someone's
eyes
.
We're
surrounded
by
children
,
who
since
they
were
born
,
Have
watched
us
living
like
robots
,
who
now
think
it's
the
.
It's
not
very
likely
you'll
make
world's
greatest
dad
,
If
you
can't
entertain
a
child
without
using
an
iPad
When
I
was
a
child
,
I'd
never
be
home
Be
out
with
my
friends
,
on
our
bikes
we'd
roam
I'd
wear
holes
on
my
trainers
,
and
graze
up
my
knees
We'd
build
our
own
clubhouse
,
high
up
in
the
trees
Now
the
park's
so
quiet
,
it
gives
me
a
chill
See
no
children
outside
and
the
swings
hanging
still
.
There's
no
skipping
,
no
hopscotch
,
no
church
and
no
steeple
We're
a
generation
of
idiots
,
smart
phones
and
people
.
So
look
up
from
your
phone
,
shut
down
the
display
Take
in
your
surroundings
,
make
the
most
of
today
Just
one
real
connection
is
all
it
can
take
To
show
you
the
difference
that
being
there
can
make
.
Be
there
in
the
moment
,
that
she
gives
you
the
look
That
you
remember
forever
as
when
love
overtook
The
time
she
first
held
your
hand
,
or
first
kissed
your
lips
The
time
you
first
disagreed
but
you
still
love
her
to
bits
The
time
you
don't
have
to
tell
hundreds
of
what
you've
just
done
Because
you
want
to
share
this
moment
with
just
this
one
The
time
you
sell
your
computer
,
so
you
can
buy
a
ring
For
the
girl
of
your
dreams
,
who
is
now
the
real
thing
.
The
time
you
want
to
start
a
family
,
and
the
moment
when
You
first
hold
your
little
girl
,
and
get
to
fall
in
love
again
.
The
time
she
keeps
you
up
at
night
,
and
all
you
want
is
rest
And
the
time
you
wipe
away
the
tears
as
your
baby
flees
the
nest
.
The
time
your
baby
girl
returns
,
with
a
boy
for
you
to
hold
And
the
time
he
calls
you
granddad
and
makes
you
feel
real
old
.
The
time
you've
taken
all
you've
made
,
just
by
giving
life
.
And
how
you're
glad
you
didn't
waste
it
,
by
looking
down
at
some
invention
.
The
time
you
hold
your
wife's
hand
,
sit
down
beside
her
bed
,
You
tell
her
that
you
love
her
and
lay
a
kiss
upon
her
head
.
She
then
whispers
to
you
quietly
as
her
heart
gives
a
final
beat
That
she's
lucky
she
got
stopped
by
that
lost
boy
in
the
street
.
But
none
of
these
times
ever
happened
,
you
never
had
any
of
this
.
When
you're
too
busy
looking
down
,
you
don't
see
the
chances
you
miss
.
So
look
up
from
your
phone
,
shut
down
those
displays
We
have
a
final
act
existence
,
a
set
number
of
days
Don't
waste
your
life
getting
in
the
net
,
As
when
the
end
comes
nothing's
worse
than
regret
.
I'm
guilty
too
of
being
part
of
this
machine
,
This
world
,
we
are
heard
but
not
seen
.
Where
we
type
as
we
talk
,
and
we
read
as
we
chat
Where
we
spend
hours
together
without
making
contact
So
don't
give
into
a
life
where
you
follow
the
hype
Give
people
your
love
,
don't
give
them
your
'like'
from
the
need
to
be
heard
and
defined
Go
out
into
the
world
,
leave
behind
.
Look
up
from
your
phone
.
Shut
down
that
display
.
Stop
watching
this
video
.
Live
life
the
real
way
.
