2020 iPhone Notes
This poem is really a cut-and-stick compilation of my iPhone notes over the last six months. It is a mix of thoughts I had but never fleshed out, to-do lists I didn’t get round to and quotes from things I’ve read and seen. It was particularly interesting to track the changes since we went into lockdown, and how as we slowly re-emerge, our social interactions will be forced to change and adapt as well. I only wonder what my notes for the next six months will look like.
