The Art of Conversation
By saltyman65
Pursuit of interaction finds
the touchdown, slip slide, perpetual playback,
imprinted to the cerebral cortex.
A shooting gallery of USB’s sit side by side at a bar.
Hot, streaming, steaming digital injection no flesh and bone connection.
Brain matter tumbles to the snack bowl below.
The lime still pokes it’s belabored head from a warming beer,
as he looks up wine on line instead.
Nothing is uttered not even a sigh as twitching fingers tap tap tap tap
tap
Scrolling..........
Scrolling..........
down.

I love the imagery of the beer warming right in front of them while they, instead, look up wine online... : ) Excellent piece! Ciao, T/S

The way you captured the lack of face to face interaction was clever and entertaining. Well done!
