turn off your phone

where are the days
of walking into a bar, sitting down
and seeing an attractive
woman across the way and
sending her a drink and waving.
whether it goes further,
doesn't matter.
the world has lost it's way.
paranoid and scared of human
contact.
it's skype now, vid chat, facetime
and all the other
crappy ways of saying hello
to someone new.
god forbid you actually meet
and rub elbows.
stare into one another's eyes
and see if there's
a spark. a chance, a flash
of heat.
