If I had more time
I’d have you over
And we could connect
Or reconnect
Whoever you are
To whoever I am

But since I lack the time
In lieu of correlation
I’ll settle for distraction
And have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If I weren’t so busy
I’d meet you for a romantic dinner
And we could unify
Or reunite
Whoever we were
To whoever we are

But since I’m crazy busy
Instead of reconnection
I’ll settle for abstraction
And have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If life were a little less hectic
If nothing else I’d suggest we do coffee
In order to humanize
Or re-humanize
Whatever this thing is
Or was between us

But since my days go so fast
Instead of humanity
I’ll opt for inanity
And have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If I could just get myself together
I’d suggest we get off TikTok
For a little old-fashioned FaceTime
Where we could bare our souls
Or at least our smiles
To each other

But since there’s so much to track
Instead of profundity
I’ll choose absurdity
And have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If I could just rearrange my schedule
I’d be sure to pencil you in
For a little heart-to-heart
Or at least tweet-to-tweet
So that at the end of the day
Our posts could commingle

But so many followers depend on me
I have to be a leader
Or publicly act like one
No worries, though, I’ll have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If I had more self-awareness
If all else failed
I’d send you an email
Or maybe a text
So we could go our separate ways
Knowing that at least one of us cared

But since I lack interiority
My only option
Is inferiority
Which means I’ll have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

If I could just squeeze a little more
Out of my existence
Or better yet
Heal my fear of death
I’d act like a real person
Not a digital robot
And make passionate love to you

But since I’ve become an NPC
I have to track down my soul
Or at least pretend I’m trying
Before, once again, I have my avatar
Emoji your avatar
Then emoji your emoji
To my emoji

ABOUT SOL LUCKMAN

Sol Luckman is a pioneering ink and acrylic painter whose work has been featured on mainstream book covers, the fast-paced trading game BAZAAR, and at least one tattoo on a female leg last sighted in Australia. Sol is also an acclaimed author of fiction, nonfiction, and humor.

His books include the international bestselling CONSCIOUS HEALING, which you can read free online, and its popular sequel, POTENTIATE YOUR DNA, available in English and Spanish.

Sol’s visionary novel SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING, the coming-of-age tale of one extraordinary boy’s awakening to the world-changing reality of his dreams, won the 2015 National Indie Excellence Award for New Age Fiction.

Written with young adult and young-at-heart readers in mind, SNOOZE further proved its literary merit by being selected as a 2016 Reader s’ Favorite International Book Award Finalist in the Young Adult-Coming of Age category and receiving an Honorable Mention in the 2014 Beach Book Festival Prize competition in the General Fiction category.

Building on this deep dive into lucid dreaming, parallel universes and Hindu mysticism, Sol’s new novel, CALI THE DESTROYER—a page-turner of a sci-fi tale set in an Orwellian future seeded in the dystopian present that radically rewrites Gnosticism as well as the origins of the earth and humanity—was selected as Winner of the 2022 NYC Big Book Award and 2022 National Indie Excellence Award for Visionary Fiction, Silver Medalist for Visionary Fiction in the 2022 Readers’ Favorite International Book Award Contest, Finalist in both the New Age and Visionary Fiction categories of the 2021 International Book Awards, and Distinguished Favorite for Audio Fiction in the 2022 NYC Big Book Awards.
