I am so connected
09.25.05 (6:41 am) [edit]The hours I keep,
erratic at best;
cell phone keeps me connected.
It rings at all hours,
I am on call,
so I never know
when dreams will be shattered
by the "bing" of my phone.......
even when off duty
I still sleep with one ear open
for the "ding" ;
a blessing and a curse
the cell phone is.
I carry it with me everywhere,
feel naked,
cut off,
isolated,
without it.
I sleep better when I know
it is on silent,
but I can seldom do that.
Technology;
it should make life simpler,
instead we can now do
30 things
when before we could do perhaps 5.
The pace is faster,
the "ding" comes more often
I do more running
and I am connected
"ding"......"ding"....."ding"
Yes who is it
What, yes I can come in to work now
And emergency you say
“ding"......"ding"....."ding"
