What is fading away? - POEM

 

 I blink,

and something I love,

is gone,

in a blink of an eye,

what is....

fading away

from our childhood,

remembering the past,

and what is,

gone

Remember DVDS,

\Video games,

and phones that have a wire attached,

Remember your friend's phone number,

Floppy discs came,

before CD's,

and CD's,

are no more

Everything,

will be obsolete,

when something new,

comes along,

remember iPods?

Not many do

The past,

is so far away,

drive in movie theaters,

of yesteryear,

now,

are empty parking lots,

for nothing

When I was young,

the mall was the place to go,

shop,

and hang out with friends,

technology,

took control of our lives,

and made shopping 

on-line,

the new norm

No one,

uses,

phone books,

anymore,

nothing,

is needed,

that involves,

yellow pages

We stream,

networks,

instead of watching,

it,

on tv,

which is only use,

in streaming,

a show

remember cameras?

Not without using your phone,

flash,

a picture,

is revealed,

cameras,

are too,

fading away

renting videos,

on cassettes,

dvds,

and even video games,

they are too,

gone,

except,

for one Blockbuster,

that hanging,

by a thread

Empty phone booths,

back before cell phones,

we had to call on these,

if we were lost,

in time,

now,

another relic stands,

on empty street corners

Time is flying by,

things we love,

are gone,

and some,

are still here,

but....

for how long,

will it remain,

before it vanishes,

like time,

in a bottle
