Cutting the cord

Cutting the Cord


Two plugs nestle in my ears,
their white slender cord   shouldn´t it be plural (cords)?
hang around me              or if it´s singular “hangs”
like a weight,
by the smart phone      don´t quite understand how weight hangs by the smart phone
they’re connected to.       maybe use some image showing the subjects dependence on the gadget


It has become my umbilical cord,     this image and the one in the next line I´t try to connect, maybe something like umbilical cord feeding opiates (just a thought)
my soul’s narcotic, my mind’s opiate,
I always carry it around,
like a drip feed.

Exposing me to sights and sounds
it sings to me:
“That’s entertainment,
That’s entertainment,”
but at times   I think that line is unnecessary as the image is surreal enough to bear absolute statements like that in the stanza´s last line
at the expense of everything else.

At such a time as this I ask myself:
“when should this cord be cut?”
My honest reply:
“Now, but not yet. ”

nice theme, would it really be necessary to cut the cord (once and for all)?
