What My Phone Knows About Me

It knows I wake at 6:14 a.m.

before my alarm.

It knows I check the news

then close the app immediately

then open it again.

It knows I've searched:

"is it normal to feel like this,"

"how to apologize without being wrong,"

"why do dogs tilt their heads"

(three times).

It knows I type things

then delete them.

Long things.

Things I meant.

It knows I ordered the same takeout

for six Thursdays in a row

and told no one.

My phone has more of me

than most of my friends do.

This is either modern loneliness

or extraordinary convenience.

Probably both.

Probably fine.
