it’s still wild to me
that we have these tiny rectangles
where we can chat with anyone
anywhere
anytime

i hate to be that millennial
but back in my day
no one had a cell phone
few people had internet
and when you did log on
it screamed
[and took twelve minutes to do
anything]

we say this is the age of innovation
but, perhaps in that way, things were really better
back then…
