The Internet Poem by Mona Lisa Aspiras

The World Wide Web
AKA "The World Wide Wait"
Why "Wait? "
Signs of the Times
A Feeding Frenzy of Information
And More and More
Feeding us past the level of
Gluttony
Not only - Faster and Faster
Contest after Contest
Between Million-Dollar Corporations,
Competing for Your
Undivided Attention,
Serving You Info Needed
And Unnecessary.
The Time Has Come
The Information Age
The Digital Highway
the Digital Generation
Are All Here -
Now.

The World Wide Wait?
No, thank you,
I'd rather "wait"
For my lover's kisses,
A morning sunrise,
Fresh-from-the-print newspaper
Or a friend's new letter.
To slow down,
To savor every precious moment
Without the need for
Speed
Is the Real Key
To Today's "World Wide Wait".
