Staring, gazing into screens not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Touching keys and fondling mice, searching cyber-spaces.
Once were glued to TV tubes now its our computer.
Smaller, it fits in our lap, its noises are much cuter.
Post offices are obsolete, libraries silent tombs now.
It's our right, get out of sight, go visit other rooms now
Hooked up to the whole wide world theres no need to roam now.
No need to go anywhere, we're not alone at home now.
We all dream of genies at our beck and call
Power, access and control, wishing for it all.
Intellect means diddysquat for hardcore software users.
A chip can check Kasparov, geniuses are losers.
Only an invention, such a useful tool.
There's no time left to teach Shakespeare in the public school.
But homework's fun, work's a snap, love lurks in cyber-spaces.
Staring gazing into screens, not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Not skies nor eyes nor faces.
Loudon Wainwright III
