devotees of the mobile phone
bend over as if in prayer
and study their phones
as though they were holy books
you can spot them everywhere
they speak to them in
public confessionals,
and mime the holy hymns that
call them to worship
they pay penance every month
in seconds and minutes
and fondle their rosaries
with abject adoration

....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

Do we really need to be reached at all times and everywhere ?
Not many places can be visited without hearing these ringtones.
it only makes today worse.

hate the cell phone.
(I made it all the way up to this year without one. then someone insisted that he buy me one. I was in love with it for about a month, now the battery is dead.)
"And does it make us more happy ?"
not me.
the weirdest thing yet has been seeing people hold them up at concerts. But you know, to each his own.
I HATE the things. I had one for years, thought I HAD to. Then the battery died, I cancellled it after a week of not using it and haven't gone back to get one.
I hate how people walk around shouting into them for the entire world to have to bear witness to their most private conversations. I hate to hear them ring while I watch a movie, (It inevitably happens at least once every single time, no matter how many times that flash that "please silence your cel phones" message during "the twenty"). I hate hearing snippets of out of date electronically reproduced songs and then having them stuck in my head all day. I hate running on a treadmill and having to have the chick next to me be talking SO loud into her phone that I have to turn up my headphones to be able to hear PJ. MOst of all I hate those damn walkie talkie things - now I get to hear BOTH sides of those conversations! MANNERS, people! Are they extinct?!

very good poem ISN.
Thanks!!
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
I saw a man in a gazebo in the hospital grounds when I took Torin there on Wednesday, and I'd just seen the hospital sign 'temporary hospital chapel'....the man was bent over, and because of the sign, at first I thought he was bent over in prayer, which would have been great.....a nice sign of public piety in these crazy days, but when I got closer, I realized he was studying his mobile phone.....heh
maybe he was praying, maybe he'd downloaded a holy book onto his wop mobile and was reading its lessons.
in total agreement.
They offered cell phones through some company, at a very cheap rate. All the junkies and dealers picked one up. Their conversations were monitored and a whole bunch of arrests were made.
I like having mine. If one of my kids needs me, I am available. I like that.
Nice piece
this is where I publish....
