Technique

Communicate, procrastinate
Ether, email, twitter, tweet
I’m not a bird, why can’t we meet?
Face to face or Facebook
Waste of time or worth a look?
Status there for all to see
Forget anonymity
Adding friends or maybe foes
The numbers count, everyone knows.
Texting is another choice
But doesn’t let me hear your voice.
Words know what they want to say
Predicting time and place and day
LOL.
Youtube, you choose
Nothing to lose.
And so I have picked up my pen
To write a note to you again
See you Saturday
Same time, same place and then
Beep – 1 new message.
