Glowing Hands
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul,
But lately it seems the eyes are fixed on screens,
From televisions to computers to mobile devices,
Everyone is on their gadgets from adults to teens.
Everyone is doing it, walking and some even driving,
Fixated on whatever it is the internet is providing,
And though technology gives us the world easily,
The human connection seems to be sliding.
I don’t mind the glow from people’s hands,
Off in their own world whatever that may be,
But when there is beauty all around us,
Our spirits slowly lose connectivity.

And though technology gives us the world easily,
The human connection seems to be sliding.

Off in their own world whatever that may be,
But when there is beauty all around us,
Our spirits slowly lose connectivity.
Thank you Sir Buck for choosing subject matter with so current relevance. I chose "ensimismados" as the restaurant name because in Spanish it means to be self-absorbed. We are sadly losing the art of interpersonal communication. I am honored to be found worthy to stand among such talented poets. Congratulations to you all!

Fine Dining
Good evening
It’s nice to see you
Will you be dining alone?
Oh forgive me
I didn’t see your device
Table for two then
Our specials for today
An 8 oz filet with spring vegetables and WiFi
And for your electronic friend
A nice OS upgrade
Excellent choice
And for your tablet?
Coming right up
Sorry about the delay
The chef was preoccupied
He just HAD to complete level 5
The way you two look into one another’s displays
mesmerized by love
I can tell you don’t mind the wait
One filet, medium rare
And the latest app
for your companion
Bon Appetit!
Hello, Don Ensimismados
We do take reservations
when would you like to come?
I have a table for four at 8 o'clock
We will see you then
Listen up kitchen!
I’ve got a four top coming at 8
Mr. and Mrs. Jones
and their smartphones
It’s their anniversary
What seems to be the problem?
I am so sorry
I didn’t realize it wasn’t compatible
I’ll send it back to the kitchen
Can I interest you in a charge
While you wait?
Free of charge...of course
I Just love this Story !!!!!
