Text Whore
by Ken HarnischText whore
Slut of the Blackberry
Generation
Leaving her numbers
On the walls
Of cyber-bathrooms
Across the universe
Pleasant to talk to
In her code,
ADD-afflicted,
So no lasting
Harm is done
By poetry and the flirt
And no assault
On her cyber-virtue
Is possible
While her fingers fly
Frenetically
And anyway
There is always
In her e- mail
Another message
Another proposal
Another lewd suggestion
By those
More cyber-desperate
Than she
Though slower
And clumsier
With their fingers 03/07/2008 Author's Note: The title is the most explicit thing in the poem...:)
