CONTACT HIGHS
By Sy Schleimer
What a miracle of human sound
When sharing by voice was found.
Early grunts, shrieks and groans
Magically evolved into human tones.
Enabling pairs and groups to grow
Into diversified societies we know,
Inexorable cultural complex needs,
Impelled literature and tech deeds.
The sound images of video and TV
Transmitted life into homes to see
Now reminisced as days of old
Done in the privacy of one’s fold.
Hard to miss the lightning speed,
Magnifying user and cyber feed,
Social nets now sweeping the nation,
Of Disembodied verbal masturbation.
