Our lives are limited to going from home to work. What do you not understand exactly?

I couldn't tell if I was supposed to do something, but it seems like it's just a loop, but I expected there to be some way to change it based on the way the ending was worded. Something about changing to find more people made me think I got a bad ending the first time around, so I was desperately trying to find something to click. 

I also don't really get what it has to do with love or poetry, either. 

I'm probably *not* the target audience for this kind of thing anyway, though, so it's quite possible I just don't get it. 

It's just a loop, I should have specified it in the description, sorry for the confusion. I did this in an hour and a half. I wanted to add more possibilities but I have not felt good. It is simply an idea, a reflection on the individualistic society we are addressing. Man goes from work to home and from home to work in loop. When he is at home, stretched out on the sofa he has a mobile in his hand. In the end it is discovered that he was looking in a dating app and there are no people around with whom he can interact. Game over. It is not a normal poem, just an experience. I will try something interactive next time. This is the first time I have participated in a jam and I hope it is not the last. Greetings!

Ah, see. I missed that it was a dating app at the end, but that is kind of obvious. It was on the phone, the heart, etc. And that does tie it together more sensibly, and that makes more sense with the love theme. It's obviously very minimal and that's fine. It's also fine to not have interaction, I think part of my confusion was related to the message in the dating app, which I interpreted as "try again" and then I made silly assumptions. 

I forgot to mention that I am uri81 from reddit. You helped me with the Harlowe Custom Macro! Here I use my "artistic" nickname. Regards!
