ELECTRONIC THUMBS
The artistry of the pen
Gone the way of marble and chisel
Electronic thumbs
Connected to the known universe
Some still talk on the phone
Most just text
So much room for misunderstanding
Always on the record
Always mentally editing
Careful what thumbs can do
To color you prejudiced, rude or stupid.
Limits technology imposes
No deniability to the email
No anonymity in your digital address
No hiding
People naturally retract
Protecting themselves
Finding there are always some
Who dislike even the best of good people
Along the way we see possibilities
Places to retire from aggression
Opportunities to love someone
See the joy in the personal world
Reducing negative influences daily
Unconcerned with dismal death.
Accepting limited years and
Possibilities of pain.
While knowing the end game
We don’t know the route
As the world changes
Our paths are altered
Sit calmly and watch
