woe are words

While spending time with my teenage niece I've come to find frustration with the use of language lately. I found myself even more frustrated when I got up to get a drink and left the room with an excited "BRB!" I am one of them - the lazy communicators of the 21st century. What is a poet who limits their vocabulary in such a way? Perhaps I'll write a poem purely in slang and emojis to make myself feel better...
