Getting IT
today’s teenagers
speak words
not yet found
in dictionary
head phones on
head down
&
head bobbing
they sit on stoop,
chair, curb
or
hip-hop bop
shuffle
down streets
thumbs flutter
like wings
of humming birds
over cell phones
iPods, iPads
&
Blackberries
they multi-task
communication
&
information
pass
@ speed of light
books
movies
music
&
art
digitized
byte-sized
chunks
taken in
stored
in outside hard drive
disconnected
wireless
link
imagination & discovery
lost forever
or
found & shared
in micro-waves
that flood the air
virtual reality
future theirs
