iPhone poems

poems written exclusively by using the word suggestions from my iPhone keyboard’s predictive text feature

to act both as a personal study on my own writing style and the inner state of my mind and as an examination of modern society on the basis of the specific ways how we usually interact through text messages within everyday life:

What do the suggested words and their contextual relations within sentences reveal about me and my world view?
How may recurring themes be connected to both my own lifestyle and the current state of modern society?
In which ways do our texting habits indirectly reflect our personality traits, relevant themes and individual storyline?
How might this concept of relying on a limited amount of words help us better understand our true feelings?
What if our phones actually know more about our deepest thoughts and life struggles than we do ourselves?
