Day Six: Screen

You’re reading these words on a screen. Screens — comforting, addictive, inescapable — are everywhere, especially when we read and write (and blog). Today, write a poem about, against, or in homage to the screens in your life. Or write about some other kind of screen — for example, the one stretched across your window, or the piece of cloth on which movies are projected at the theater.

“We made the buttons on the screen look so good you’ll want to lick them” Steve Jobs

Twin Screens

My confession
My obsession
My precious
My life essence

Sitting on the table
I really cannot lable
This is no fable
Or maybe
I am just, unstable

My two Macs
Nothing do they lack
No time do I track
Even by their side
Do I snack

Breaking away
Keeping them at bay
There’ll come a day,
But for now
I choose to stay

They give me all
With them,
Life’s a ball
Some might say
I stall

World wide
Do I glide
Virtually mind!
Maybe I just hide
Maybe I am tied

My Macs
The two of them
Now packed
Time to hit the road

Dear Reader
This was a tale of humour
Somewhat of a rumour
A tale told by the weaver

Maybe, I actually did more
And myself away tore
Just before
I got too hooked
And started reading a book
Instead
