Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

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

Perhaps scientists will come up with a stupidity vaccination! Brian Sambourne June 24, 2021 at 7:30 AM True. Attention's absorption into cellphones is certainly a street hazard. Safe travels to all. Sincerely, Brian

Paula Goldsmith June 20, 2021 at 9:56 AM 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................ Brian Sambourne June 20, 2021 at 10:29 AM Hello Paula, My appreciation for your drop by + affirmative comment. Best wishes always. Brian

Richard Lamoureux June 18, 2021 at 6:52 AM Nothing like a real book to fire our synapses. Still the bits and bytes do hold their own attraction. Brian Sambourne June 18, 2021 at 8:27 AM 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

Anais Vionet June 16, 2021 at 7:59 AM I love-hate technology too =] Brian Sambourne June 16, 2021 at 9:40 AM Hi Anais, Given my advanced age, technology for me is a sinkhole. I still read paper bound books. Thank you for your comment. Be well. Brian
