Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The building crumbled
The rubble
Grew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
Character fell
To the wrecking
Crew

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
The needs of many
Gave way to a
Few

Shiny, glossy
Bright
And new
With the past
The powers that be were
Through

But bicycles festooned

On all the calls they’ve been

Out Of the air Swooping Down

The click And Clack Of your Keys

The ear Most surely Did Please

With Computer Devices Did Cease

The click And Clack Of your Keys

when spring at last comes shattering winter’s firm grip into icy chunks

Gone by the way Of the Eight track tape With compact discs Soon To Follow

A world Of everything Satellite And cellular Somehow Leaves me feeling Hollow
