Hour 5

Apple Watch

It’s watching me.
I’ll turn off the screen,
but it comes back on.
It watches my chest rise and fall.
The wristwatch knows every toss and turn,
each midnight bathroom break.
The blue light silently winks at the ceiling,
In sync with the insidious hum of electrical wiring.

It’s watching me-
That monolithic screen for a face.
