Sans Electronics
by Vikki OwensWhat do you think?
Could we just talk tonight?
No tv, no internet, no blackberry?
Why, it would be like we dont even exist!
Except that we would exist in
our minds,
thinking, therefore, being.
Words that we would have to telegraph,
S.O.S's across the length and breadth of the bed,
we would find a way to communicate,
I have a set of tom-toms,
you were a boyscout, you know about smoke signals.
We would make do.
And what would I even say to you?
Would I have a single thought, that isnt an answer,
in the form of a question,
shouted at the television?
I think I would.
Yes. I know I would. 01/22/2009 Posted on 01/22/2009
