i'll never own
a mobile phone
i have no motivation
for at their cold
steel feet do lie
the bones of conversation

Neat and to the point.
What bothers me is young mothers who - instead of talking to their kids - are glued to the bloody things.
This is a hole in one in terms of success, for me at least Stu. Only with poetry can we express ourselves in such a pithy context and so concisely. I expect you will remember 1984 and how people were spied upon . The difference in part is that we all come under the umbrella of consumers - so that's all good then!
How true this is Stu. there is a group of friends that I meet up with once a year if I am able who would all be defined as grumpy old men like me. Out of the fifteen or so I think there are only two mobiles between us. unfortunately I feel the same can be said about e mail.
Fabulous - short, spicy and spot on.

thanks all. i'm always amused by the so called 'science fiction' stories and films about humanity becoming enslaved to technology.
fiction indeed...
(i feel email has far less parameters to be abused - i rarely see anyone actually calling people on phones nowadays)
