Mobile Making Me Mental

After the honeyoon, comes the fall back to earth.  My new companion always wants to chat in the middle of the night.  Wants to know what I’m up to and will never switch off.  And there’s jealousy in the family too.  My wife tells me I prefer the new phone to her (“exchanging for the latest model” takes on a new meaning).  Notifications: were a major the enemy.  Chirps and squeaks at all hours.  WhatsApps from Haiti, when their 10pm rumination caused my phone lighting up and tinkling at 4am.
