Another perfect square

Another perfect square
on the small glowing screen.
That particular shade of blue,
you know the one, that
artificial ocean. Too clear.
And the foam, so white,
on a glass nobody touches.
Just sitting there,
in the engineered light.
Everything aligned. No bad angles.
No smudged lenses, no
actual grit.
And I scroll past, my own plate
of cold pasta still waiting
on the counter, and think
what a clean life.
It’s a quiet ache, really.
No noise, just a slight pull
downward.
