Apple TV for The Elderly
Apple TV For The Elderly
We may not be lost
but we are floundering
soul-dulled amphibian-like
swimming blindly
in large schools upstream
without pliable thumbs
or purpose
eyes rolling on opposite sides
of a mind in twilight
locked-in stress-related, unable
to surface for personal choices,
to scroll with dexterity and click
on that beautiful beach
of Unlimited Streaming.
About this poem
