Texting
Texting
A lament of texting.
I regret the suplantation of
Conversation with random
Truncations of thought and
Ideas into texting
As if a few thumb prints on
A “key board” were
Satisfactory substitutions
For actual communication!
Talking involves randomly synchronized
Exchanges of phrases,
One layered upon or bouncing
Against another.
Real worlds and Ideas
don’t fit into three hundred
Thousand sound bites,
Much less into text messages,
Of any length on any
Phone.
If all you have to say to your
Father,
Is through text messaging,
then please don’t
Bother.
