Download To Let Go Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Download to let go,
Of a doing unchanged.
Download to let go,
The same playing of games.
Download to let go,
For something else to claim.
Without it to tweet.
Twitter or snapped to chat.

Is it possible,
A cellphone can be used...
To place a quick call.
Is it possible,
A decision can be made...
To meet and have lunch,
At the nearest mall.
Is it possible,
This can be done...
Without sending a 'selfie' at all.
Has it become too strenuous,
To await for a dial-tone.
With a few numbers to push.

Download to let go,
Of a doing unchanged.
Download to let go,
The same playing of games.
Download to let go,
For something else to claim.
Without it to tweet.
Twitter or snapped to chat.

It has become too convenient,
To have less time for another to give.
It has become too convenient,
Wanting but not getting...
Time to spend with someone,
Seen on a hand held screen.
To only be told,
Their minutes are limited.
And they don't over roll.
It has become too convenient,
To have a connection stopped.
Into a 'cloud' that has dropped.
And how this happens...
Only the service provider knows.

'I can't believe you lost your cellphone.
And you walked over here to see me.'

~I do.
And got some exercise too.~

'You did WHAT?
Exercised?
I wish I had time for that.'
