the human touch

we don't talk
anymore. we text. we don't
see one another
for a drink or coffee.
we look at our
pictures posted on facebook.
we don't send
cards, or hand written
letters,
we can barely hold a conversation
on the phone.
we e mail or text again
and again.
we have lost our
way.
we are losing ourselves
within ourselves,
every question answered
by our phone,
every direction to somewhere
a click away.
even the funerals
are full
of nothing, videos,
a bank of screens, the music
blaring,
short of love
and warmth,
of the human touch.
we don't talk anymore,
we text.
