Instant music
Instant words
Instant albums
Instant books

What happened to the vinyl?
The snap crackle pop.
What happened to the lyrics?
Raw and bloody thought.

What happened to the hardback?
Smell of fresh new words.
What happened to the pages?
Savored as their turned.

Instant pleasure
Instant food
Instant message
Instant group

What happened to the oven?
Baking something fresh.
What happened to the table?
Where the family met.

What happened to the talking?
Picking up the phone.
What happened to the listening?
Reading face and tone.

Instant missing
Instant bored
Instant distance
Instant ignore


This inspiration came from a conversation with a musician friend.  Thanks Mark.
