Not so long ago...
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!
Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy,
you hoped nobody found out!
Compress was something you did to garbage,
not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public,
you'd be in jail for awhile!
Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!
Cut you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!
I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash,
but when it happens they wish they were dead!

Possibilities of Love
by Ed Kleinschmidt
We are left open and wet like shells young
girls string on strips of kelp and wear
around their necks and wrists and ankles into
the sea. In the washed-over sand, we
have to imagine our names were there, in
silver, your name like a rabbit, like
your feet, that turn away from me after
dark nights soften our bodies, turn
them into deep pools of water, fresh water
cupped in our hands on these hot beaches,
the sun which hardens us, our hair
like field straw, but it is our soft grass,
we nest in it and each other. And our hands
keep building, like a stonemason sleeping: his
buildings he has never been in want his hands
again. It is you I want again, left open.
Now somewhere else, out of reach of my brown feet,
my shell that has escaped into love, my name.
And you are here, now with pearls in your
hair, and I want to dive to find you
and carry your pearls up to air between
my lips. And to hear you breathe in
as if you were breathing for the world
and will never stop. I sleep on a dune
as if an animal waiting to carry me down
these beaches to you. And I cannot think of
a letter that is not in your name. And I cannot
think of your arms without my own wet and
stretching out. And I cannot dream of your eyes,
without them, right now, looking closely into mine.
