Digital Loss of Communication

The Digital Loss of Communication

My son-in-law has 1137 channels

on his dish

now with Kobo and his Android he

has hundreds more

digital and surround sound

in his livingroom.

five remotes rest on the coffee table

I have no clue which to use

surfing the globe he can watch

wrestling in Japan,

cooking shows from Portugal,

soccer from Argentina, or

Monster Trucks from Wisconsin,

there are five flat screens arrayed

through the house

with

ipads for kids
Smarts phones,
social media

monitors always beaming

no one ever reading

the dinner table no place

for

talk.
