In these hyper connected times

Smart phone! Don’t we all need one
so we can be ‘with’ someone?

Aren’t we idling in the wings
until phone imposes
listlessly until it rings
then all else forecloses?

In hyper connected times
everywhere a free zone
where lights up & crisply chimes
our exacting smart phone

Long since when that sweet time when dialog was two
now it often takes a three- or foursome to coo

three- or foursome = 2 persons + 1 or 2 smartphones involved
