On Holding

An oeservation the other day the use of the word 'like ' as some form of punctuation and the way these days we all seem to hold things phones cards etc

          

           Gasped in the world of simile

            White phones or cards clutched tight

            Security of transit

            Of waiting on calls - buses

 

            I was once there with this now

            A definition - as hummed 

            Bound in Ein Heldenleben

            Deaf - to my own  Prospero?

 

            Here beyond - ‘must be’ - before

            The ropes of a worship dogma

            Frayed with tracts of experience

            Wisdom dawns and says  - ‘fear not’

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i think we hold the electronics a bit too close...they choke us...they run us...we go by their schedules...not ours...

i think wisdom would say...let's talk to each other in person more...let's make real contact...
we worship the tablets...and not the commandment type...the current type.
I'd like to see us hold each other, more.
