Crepuscular rays pierce the nebulous
Scatter dust motes in a frenzied array
The enraptured crowd becomes tremulous
At this closing ritual of the day
Hands plunge the depths of both pocket and purse
Fumbling fast for that most trusted device
Our ephemeral memory made worse
By surrendering to this shallow vice
Freeze this moment immortal yet mundane
Upload the impression both far and wide
Share the image to the collective brain
Tweeted and hashtagged in the name of pride
Force feed the followers that don’t want it
This is just another sunset sonnet
