there used to be a time
when the art of writing
took precedent over noughts and ones
computers connected by
copper wire – communicated
commerce’s transactions
new ideas developed
new products made
new holes excavated
wires of glass flash light
down the line and picked up
by a computer at the end
messages you can now see
and respond face to face
as you talk to some friend
in a far off place
