Sandra Haight Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Face To Face

Face To Face


Face to face they sit...
brain to brain;
two-eyed flesh machine,
one-eyed blue
laptop screen,
interacting... 
systems inputting, 
outputting, 
precious data.
Face to face they sit,
a complex team
driven to perform
with error-free 
precision in a 
controlled mini-world
ruled by the god 
of technology.
Face to face they sit...
worlds apart,
stark and cold 
plastic eye flashing 
programmed data;
warm and sensitive 
flesh eyes flashing 
non-programmable 
blue twinkles.

Jan Allison January 13, 2016 at 5:56 PM The teenies get to grips with technology so so quickly Sandra - my son had his first pc when he was about 2 1/2. A couple of months later he called me in the room - 'look what I can do mum and he typed his name 'D A V I D' -no wonder he is studying computers at university:-) hugs Jan xx Sandra Haight January 14, 2016 at 8:18 AM Yes, Jan, young ones grasp this so well. I do worry that communication is less face to face and more behind screens these days! Hugs, Sanda
