I still listen to cassettes on my Walkman —
so wake me up when the next big thing develops . . .
Cuneiform: Textual Intercourse
u text me dis
i text u dat
she dissed my dis
i sent last Sat.
u lol’ed
on down the list
i sexted six
(my 7th missed)
u banned my width
i book your face
u twittered on
she save my space
u scrolled me down
he tweeted smiles
we USB’ed
recharging miles . . .
u giga-bit
encrypted files;
i saved as mine
and cached denials
in digital
we re-erased
then skyped our souls
and interfaced.

I will never be convinced that there is a better way to listen to music than on vinyl…but I’m old-fashioned like that. Some clever wordplay in this one — unlike twitter ‘poetry’, I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. :)

Vinyl is a warmer, fuller sound. And I love the concept of an album as an integral whole, a unified series of songs in a particular order.
Today it seems to be about isolated downloads instead. Thanks for your comment.
