going high tech


new Kindle device

came in quiet plain brown box

seems cold, clinical


no paper, no ink

examining wireless

lightweight plastic screen


seems impersonal

platonic relationship

perhaps I’m too old


staid in my known ways

secondhand, indie bookstores

wandering, browsing


ready, get set, go

I love new technology

bravely venture forth


at the coffee shop

firing up wireless

so much temptation
