Cell-phones
I sat in the doctor's waiting room
while my wife was (as they used to say) under the doctor.
The room was packed everyone sat looking at their phone
and there were no magazines to read.
I stole a glance at the cell-phone a lady next to me
was looking at, family photos from yesterday's party
Everyone was taking a picture of everyone else.
At the party, did they have time to eat the food, someone
had taken pictures of that as well it is frightening to
think people don't know what is real unless they can see
how good time they had at the gathering.
