David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

Virtual Time

Virtual Time
David J Walker

I made the mistake of 
Opening ever app on my iPhone
carelessly falling in
swallowed like the cell signals 
fueling this handheld object of 
everyone’s affection

Now, lost, I can find
no way out
perhaps I have become an app
That can only be deleted 

There was a time you could 
Hear the clogs clicking 
The gears whirling 
The wheels turning
Running everything the 
World was made of
With a spring or steam
Or gasoline 

Needlessly 
I remembered to
wind the Clock that 
kept the time 
We once lived by
