Technology
by anitapoems.com
 
I wake up each morning,
when my android makes noise.
Technically speaking,
he’s just one of my toys.
 
Call me lazy,
but I try to save time.
Microwaving my breakfast,
is not a real crime.
 
Before I dance,
with my electric toothbrush.
Straight for the inbox,
I dive in a rush.
 
With the click of a mouse,
I outsource my work.
Through Amazon reviews,
I search for my perk.
 
I won’t wait for weeks,
demand it today.
Another PS3 game,
I can’t wait to play.
 
I attempt to snap out,
from my wired realm.
It seems like technology,
is right at the helm.
 
I drive half a block,
to the grocery store.
Technology is friendly,
and opens the door.
 
I finally use
my dry mouth to speak.
I’m definitely rusty,
and sound like a freak.
 
Why can’t they get a robot,
to slice the meat.
My disappointment,
I eagerly tweet.
 
At the checkout,
I have a clear choice.
Use a human
or a machine with a voice.
 
I return to my office,
my game has arrived.
My ancestors were truly,
technology deprived.
