The Children Are Buffering

This collection captures the tension between being constantly connected online while feeling increasingly disconnected in real life. The poems are intentionally brief—reflecting the shortened attention spans of a generation raised by scrolling, streaming, buffering, and instant gratification. Yet within those brief moments live conversations about identity, empathy, mental exhaustion, loneliness, fear, validation, and survival in the digital age. The Children Are Buffering is not just poetry. It is social commentary, cultural reflection, and a mirror held up to a world still trying to remember how to be human.
