Bits and Bytes

life drain that needs a new installment
over flow, the curvaceous wash of social media
privacy perishable, burden of risk
tech gadgetry, finger punched detachment
tangle of cyber speak, sheared discourse
movement pitched in Tik Tok rhythm
always another world to screen into
change that covers me like mud

If they get hit by cars while watching their phones, you may be witnessing Darwin’s Theory play out. Perhaps scientists will come up with a stupidity vaccination!

True. Attention's absorption into cellphones is certainly a street hazard. Safe travels to all. Sincerely, Brian

A wonderful "Bits and Bytes" write. Those that do not read the paper and bound books are missing out. Today many only read e-books. So Sad. Have a blessed day writing away................

Nothing like a real book to fire our synapses. Still the bits and bytes do hold their own attraction.

Yes, but I do cringe when I see folks looking into hand held phones as they cross the street. Thank you for dropping by. Cheers, Brian
