I liked the idea in this poem; beauty sacrificed on the alter of banal distraction.
Some lovely lines that jump out.
I'm guessing your not a young person.
Very poignant and appropriate commentary on modern life from someone who's lived in better times.
Enjoyed this, well done.

A sad conclusion, JD, but a perfectly judged and relevant poem.

Beno, you are right, I remember a world where a phone call was made in a telephone box down the road. The occurrence of young people disregarding the space around them while they live their lives through a small bright screen is growing but I can say that more and more old f@rts are doing likewise apart that because of their age they are so much slower😂😂😂
