You didn’t notice any of this because you were sitting in your room, not doing anything not even reading, not really, just looking at your telephone,
This was not how i expected this poem to end. The whole thing leads up to basically saying that humans are so wrapped up in their technology, they're missing all of the exciting things going on in he world around them.
