“Laptop” by Liz Tillman

On the bus with boredom bubbling up all five senses, the viewer sighs.
The bored eyes move and spot a stranger’s laptop screen.
Maybe it’s private,
Best not to pry.
However, the viewer looks,
and it’s just a photo of canned tuna on the screen.
The boredom popped,
But confusion screams,
Why canned tuna?
Twenty minutes later,
Still the eyes can see tuna on the screen.
What’s going on?
