Digital vs, non-digital

For people old enough to have had a taste of both the non-digital and digital age, many things may feel odd. Without being critical or judgemental, I'd like to share this poem I wrote a while ago:


ONLINE


ONLINE
I talk to funny people
With funny English
They make me laugh
Sometimes they make me cry

We do simple things
Like saying “hello”
Over and over again
Or taking turns
Inventing stories
Stories that never end
And never will end

We kill time together
For fear time should kill us
Oh the things we would do
If we could teleport
Or would we?

Perhaps proximity
Would take its toll
It always does
Pity, isn’t it?
