Todays Exchange
Swagger to the Bar
Look to see where the others are
Pick up your SUPPER DOOPER ULTRASOLNIC ELECTROMAGNETIC
Communication device
Raise your head
Nod at them twice as you see them at the end of the bench
Then with the unbelievable dexterity of a child of this age
You bend your thumbs and press the key
Why do you think the power of your thumb will set you free
You wait, primed for your flood of replies
But as I watch you I do not see growth or the excitement of the
Exchange of ideas
I see lonely souls looking for Technology to show them direction
I look for the beauty of the exchange
Is this beauty forever lost
Is it now forever out of range
The thrill of the first murmurs,
The sweet nectar of language as it touches our heart
Can not be conveyed by the interaction between electrical impulses
As they pass each other in techno space
Put down that weapon that destroys your words
Open your eyes
listen to the music
listen to the song
join together feel the rhythm of times past
let your eyes meet
feel your souls bond
raise your voices and sing along
tomorrow when your home and you wonder how you feel
remember the contact
remember the breath
remember the love
remember its real.
