they text faster
and much more
than they converse
thumb a morse code
pluck a shorthand emotion
from a picture album
with a finger flick
like chickens in a barnyard
never looking up
beaks pounding the dirt
speaking in peck
‘til an awkward moment
bumps into them
forces an eye to eye
a face to face
breath versus hot breath
with a mean rooster
a hen in distress
or some flirting with another
frankly
I’m not seeing
any future technology
where that ever gets easier
