It's all so very electric,
this modern, hi-tech
technology moving thoughts,
our feelings at lightspeeds,
continent-to-continent
through cyberspace.
I ponder what people did
without E-mail,
Facebook,
Twitter,
I-Phones & Droids,
X-Boxes,
laptop computers
and all the other
cool plastic-devices
manufactured
to make
our lives easier,
worth living?
I think they probably
talked face-to-face with each other,
wrote letters using real handwriting, not buttons.
They kissed each other on the lips in person,
held hands, breathed on each others necks.
And I am sure there were other things they did with one another best kept private.
It's no secret.....
wow, real intimate-contact!
Things must have been much harder then....
O, how I pray for simplicity,
to feel human touch again!
