Cellulart

This new thing
to be serious about.
Flashing, glistening, listening.

Fumbling, rumbling
chirping cheeping.

A-rockin and a-bobbin
connecting to the
collective unconscious unreliable.

Diminutive device
Clever contraption
Enhanced capacity for interruption.

When the telephone was invented
it worked
great trouble was taken to
avoid being heard.

WRM - (on the birthday of Alexander Graham Bell)

Catching up; thought this might be too cynical, but I do get invited out.

Party patter.

Invitation;
Casually offered,
Bring a bottle, bring yourself.
Take a bottle, carefully chosen,
In case you dislike all else.
Once, change the world conversations,
Idealistic, knew no bounds;
Replaced by tales of children's progress,
Property prices, pensions, second cars,
Those who would save civilisation,
Now save energy and air miles.

On the spur of the moment

Sell the cell.(Don't knock the Nokia.)

T.V, P.C, MP3,
Internet and answerphone,
Camera, ephemera,
The life supporting mobile 'phone.

Stop iiii-ing your iphone ? What use would it be ? My mobile is only for personal safety; I could hit people with it in self defence.
