SMART PHONES / by Joe Castorino

These little electronic

beasts

have insatiable

app-etites.

 

Like possessive pets,

they feast on my

attention --

they demand that I

stroke them and pet them,

constantly,

more and more and more,

until I’m dazed and confused and

technologically schmoozed.

 

And then,

when I least expect it,

their sleek semiconductors

swallow my sleepy

soul.
