Ten souls walked Europe with a phone glued to their eyes they filmed the world and missed the glorious skies They stole my phone across Europe They left me blind and cold My seventh sense flew away like a dove and I stood there actually seeing the world In Vienna photographing my own feet I missed the Mozart missed the cobblestone street phone gone silence I noticed the trees and burst into tears in the autumn breeze They stole my phone across Europe In Paris filming my croissant melting the Louvre behind me the whole time I never turned around They stole my phone across Europe In London texting while crossing the Thames walked into a Beefeater he did not say thanks seven functions stolen in one single swipe who do I thank for ending my hype They stole my phone across Europe City by city Europe tried to tell them but they had their headphones in In Athens googling the Parthenon standing inside it the WiFi of the Acropolis nobody knows it God help me I might have to talk to someone like actual humans do They stole my phone across Europe In Berlin six hours daily on the screen photographer banker therapist love machine I was not robbed I was freed They stole my phone across Europe In Naples live streaming my pizza being made chef said Mangia I said the lighting is wrong pizza went cold audience moved on I ate it anyway best moment of my life They stole my phone across Europe In Barcelona seventeen WhatsApp groups good morning gif times ten none of them are friends sat on Las Ramblas looked up first time in years They stole my phone across Europe Four thousand photos of canals no memories a duck looked at me eye to eye no screen I have not truly looked at anything in years They stole my phone in Amsterdam and gave me back my soul In Brussels multitasked breakfast lunch and dinner maximally efficient spiritually thinner Did you block your phone yet sir my team is managing that The committee has not yet convened The pilgrim left his phone at home looked up at the dome with naked eyes a cardinal smiled he smiled back God messaged him no data required Left his phone at home alleluia found everything amen We all got robbed across Europe Vienna Paris London Berlin Athens Naples Barcelona Amsterdam Brussels still not convened Europe was always beautiful we just forgot to look up Lama Tenzin Dorje no phone ever watched the sunset said nothing posted nothing and that was enough
