Screens
I loves me some screens.
I could eat screens
for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
And for dessert
Screens are better than ice cream
With whip cream
And pralines.
In fact, my food(?) tastes delicious
Because it's healthy and nutritious
When you add a little screen.
Spice my dishes
With instant wishes
Presented
In the glow
Of my show.
I never travel anywhere without a portable screen
Just in case the places I go don't have them.
Thankfully
Most places do.
So I can glue
My mind
My attention
My face
To this interface.
I'm happy that libraries and restaurants,
Ballparks and arenas,
Rings and rinks,
Even over bathroom sinks,
Toilets and urinals,
Malls and shops,
Promenades and parking lots,
Cars and trains,
Taxis and planes,
Kitchens and bedrooms,
Offices, reck rooms, play rooms, dens, family rooms, living rooms and tv rooms
All
Now
Have the presence of a screen.
I'm so happy they are ubiquitous
Now that mind-focus is fragmented
And fractured
Bent and split
Down to the minute
I can gobble up more
To restore my
Bore
With scores and stores
Of screens galores.
My digital destiny
Is written with ones and zeros
By cartoon superheroes.
Wait,
hang on,
just a moment
my show is almost through
Then I'll need to text you
About:
YouTube
Boob Tube
Time Tube
Trance Tube
Tubular tube
Vegetable tuber
Propaganda propeller
Planting seeds
In my thoughts and dreams.
I can be social with multiple people
Through media by
Typing
Tweeting
Texting
Posting
Tagging
Sharing
Friending
Following
Liking
Emojing (poop is my favorite)
Giffing
Snapping
Graming
And slamming the 'line'
With stuff, stuff and more stuff.
Hang on.
Just a minute.
Let me get this.
Oh, I'm sorry I bumped into you.
How long have you been standing there?
Is our dinner here yet?
Check this out?
Did you see this post?
I love being loaded
Blasted and bombarded retarded
By my connectedness.
Inspired by instant access to information
I can laze and daze
Knowing I can get my fix
My boost
My endorphin rush
My hit
— who needs
Hugs
Imagination
Creativity
Nature
Sunlight
Empathy
Touch —
When I can gobble my vita-screen
My nutrition network
My tasty technology
My enlivened internet
By scanning or scrolling
Stalking or patrolling
My bytes, bits, pixels.
My date with data.
Screens,
I bow to you.
I keep my head down
To avoid interaction
To maintain my contraction.
My neck
Is now designed
To align
With the sweet divine
Digital bliss fountain.
It's and evolutionary advantage
I will pass along to my offspring.
They will mimic
My magnificent marveling.
My multi-screening
Multi-faced
Interfacing devices
To multiply my multi-tasking —
After all
I am multi-dimensionally
Functioning.
I'm a
Tapped in
Plugged in
Dialed in
In in
Updated
2.0
Wifi zoned
Free roaming
Wide ranging
Fiber optically fabulous
Humanoid
With my
Chargers
And drives
And memory
And data.
Where's my charger?
Where's my chord?
I better get this off
So it's all stored
As a record
That I was here
On this screen as it appears.
