Frank E Gibbard Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 A dissertation upon a situation: a commentary on the extraordinary obsession (finger pressing) with the possession of mobile devices grasped by groups of humanity engaging in (finger pushing) negation of the once vaunted art of conversation (finger moving) transmitting communication of banality a tawdry oblation of inanity (over and out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcmarti1 Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Caustic commentary couched.....in humor. Loved this part: transmitting communication of banalitya tawdry oblation of inanity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Funny stuff Frank. I have to admit to being a finger pusher more and more. So easy to send a text to get a quick response. But reading poems like this makes me want to get back in the game and write some poems of my own. Thanks for the inspiration. ~~ Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Nice Frank! Currently connecting only through finger pushing... not only, but mostly banal! Loved it! Juris Quote thegateless.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Nice shooting, Frank - you got me! I definitely resonate with this humorously framed lament for lost interpersonal connections. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Communication of banality?!? They're tweeting to their millions of followers and fans, Frank! The "Modem Man" title is terrific. It evokes an interesting sight-slant rhyme without saying/displaying it: "modern man."
