Spanning the Attention Gap

Typed words flow
Across the screen.
Cursor blinks
seen, unseen.

Electrons racing
through the wires,
Transporting meaning
as word inpires.

Sensors picking up
the textings.
Users taking in
the sextings.

Social networks
come and go.
Human beings
move so slow.

Time's reduced
to microseconds.
Attention spans
too slow I reckon.

Clever! I love the way you write, you pick and play with words in a very clever and individual way and this is no exception, plus, you've hit the nail on the head ..

Let us hope that man is always able to properly control that which he creates.
Very well-done, Judy, and, obviously, thought-provoking.

The way we're going, we'll soon invent ourselves into obsolecence.

[Audrey Howitt]

Really liked this one--humorful, but with a deeper message I think.
