I
hear America texting
her constant tap tapping
from sea to shining sea
every street and highway
all atwitter
men and women
on the way to work
behind the wheel
sending their messages
of love and nonsense
crashing into guard rails
rear ending each other
still typing away
on tiny keyboards
their small thoughts of the day
emoji emotions
miles of pings
responding with happy faces
merrily they roll along
on their new gadgets
speaking of lost causes
lost language
less eye to eye
it's a brave new world
driving while texting
our evolution
from climbing trees and artful cursive
to blanking screens
held precariously beside steering wheels
thumbs numb from texting.
we know less than before. |
