Unlike then, the mail stream of today has diminished by such things as e-mails and faxes and cell phones and text messages, largely electronic means of communication that replace mail.

With a hey and a ho and a txtng to-and-fro

It was a lover and his lass
with a hey and a ho and a texting to and fro
that o'er the sidewalks smiling pass
with ringtones, with ringtones,
with dotty ditty ringtones
while cellphones ring
hi! tingalingaling,
sweet lovers love a ring.

It was that cool dude and his chick
with a hey and a ho and a texting to and fro
swopping tunes and sharing pix
with ringtones, with ringtones
with dotty ditty ringtones
and all the birds
txt lv ya bf wrds
sweet lovers love a ring

But I'm acutely aware that the possibility of fraud is even more prevalent in today's world because of the Internet and cell phones and the opportunity for instant communication with strangers.

Depictions May Solicit Unhealthy Images

Controversy and the raising of eyebrows,
Produces the same affect.
From those who prepare to protest,
The reading of an epic.
That depicts within its pages,
A newborn being breast fed.

And the author is neither married.
Or has children.
And the one who has written this epic,
May be a male who describes.
His own upbringing.

Upsetting those who believe,
His depictions may solicit unhealthy images.
To those who are children,
Already experienced at downloading pornography.
On their cellphones.

Balancing Education

Modern generation
Today‘s children
Only busy with them

Mobile phones
Television and games
But no ‘tele-vision’

Educated and intelligent
But less humane
Energetic and enterprising
But selfish to the core

Willing to slog, struggle
But not a helping hand
Want to live the life well
But no community feelings

Belong to the World
But not to their nation

Too Impatient to Explain the Basics

To those who say,
They have no time to utilize...
That which provides a convenience in their lives.
Are finding a way to say,
They are too lazy to updat their minds.
Will eventually discover they have been left behind,
By those too impatient to explain the basics.

Keep up the pace,
That's all it takes.
And those little things people hold in their hands.
What are they called again?
You know...
Those little things folks hold to their ears,
And talk?
I recently saw that as I walked.

'Cellphones? ? ? '

Wow!

Impatience

Is it impatience or affluence
To have as many cell phones,
As many lap taps,
As many music systems,
As many televisions,
As many vehicles,
As many bedrooms
As there are members
In a given family?

As a matter of fact, when compression technology came along, we thought the future in 1996 was about voice. We got it wrong. It is about voice, video, and data, and that is what we have today on these cell phones.

Would I buy a cell phone for my 12-year-old?... No. I should have closer control over my child than that. He really shouldn't be in places where he needs to contact me by cell.

Subtle Goodbyes

I've been practicing how to say
Goodbye

Words are hurting

So i try casual ones
Unannounced like an uncertain hour

A place not named yet

X x x

You put a paid bill or a

Red rose in bed
A well folded towel beside it

From cell phones to computers, quality is improving and costs are shrinking as companies fight to offer the public the best product at the best price. But this philosophy is sadly missing from our health-care insurance system.

You Are Always There

I am far away from you
I intended it to be
I want to travel this journey alone
I am throwing away my crutches

Arriving at the point of
no return
There is someone who wants to talk
About us
Those rainbow days

I do not like this
What I know is that
I am ready

I like to turn off myself like a conversation's
Demise
Like a cellphone without a load
A battery exhausted

Things I Have Lost

During my life I've lost many things...

I've lost my teddy bear

I've lost my blanket

I've lost my bottle and binkie

---------

I've lost my homework

I've lost my backpack

I've lost my books and glasses

---------

I've lost my keys

Baby Keep Smilin

Its hot outside so for me it is
A brand new day that I shall kiss
And if you feel the same way too
Then do the things that I am gon do
All we need is a mobile phone
To tell everybody: we are not at home
And if you have to work all day
Then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin
you know the sun is shinin
...
I put on my glasses
And tell you how sweet your ass is
So would jump in my caddy
And call me your sweet sweet daddy
All we need is a mobile phone
To tell everybody: we are not at home
And if you have to work all day
Then listen what I got to say
Baby keep smilin

Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world.

Ipocalypse Now!

We're headed for Ipocalypse!
June eighth will soon be here.
IP addresses running out.
What will we do? Oh dear!
Four Billion addresses weren't enough
for every thing that beeps:
Desktops, laptops, mobile phones
and GPS in Jeeps.

Fear not! June eighth will be the test
of a higher protocol
and if the system doesn't crash
they'll be numbers for you all.

But if IP V six
should crash and burn
You should not be dismayed
The internet won't disappear
but slowly will degrade.

Losing Love

cellphones cannot keep love.

emails cannot substitute for lunch
just the two of you
over a plate of spaghetti
a cup of coca cola

skypes are imitations of
our sounds
sometimes we are not the way
we sound in
cyberspace

there is nothing like it
when we keep love burning
upon a tryst in
a cottage on the side of a hill
inside a room
with the light of a candle

When We Were Young

When we were young
we thought we were immortal.
We played at recess, and after
school, ran all the way home.
Barefooted, we moved over
rocks and sticks.
The only stop was at the bakery
and since we were children
we got fresh bread for less.

When we were young
there were no cell phones.
We lived in a rural district,
there were no phones at all,
except the ones we made,
out of empty milk cans
and a piece of cord.

When we were young
we made cars
