Edit Your Day

They called it ‘Edit Your Day’.

People had started recording
Their entire lives

And the world was just
Edited highlights.

Nobody took anything or anyone
Seriously anymore.

Everyone was disgusted
With each other.

Nobody was famous.
Everyone was famous.

Mischief collided with misery
And it all fell apart clip by clip.

For the next hundred years
Nobody recorded or watched anything.

Then some smart arse with a lighter
Lit his fart on fire

And the whole thing started again.
