I want to go back to the time
where cell phones existed not,
and communication was more personal.
Where TV was radio
and eyes with mind collaborated for imagination
as ears reveled in sound.
I want to go back to a time
where people would be on street holding hands instead of phones. And individuals looked at one another to see each others expressions instead of impersonal texting.
I want to go back
where there was no internet to steal ones time on a Face Book site that takes your information and tries to promote fake friendships.
I want to go back yes back
to a time where I could meet a poet for lunch
instead of only on a site that keeps one at distance.
Time waits for no one and so progress
for the sake of disconnect continues.
Until robots replace our reality.
