Communication As We Know It

We are all in the living room.
Bing. Ping. Zing. Bing! 
Squeal of delight.
No one looks up.
No one speaks.

There are screens in everyone’s hands
Except Dad’s.
He is watching the big screen on the wall.
We hear it, but not really.

Some of us take our screens to bed.
Bing. Ping. Zing. Bing!
No one has spoken for years.

Thank you Lyric Man. I think you could make a lovely lyrical song out of this.
