Counted five of us seated in the patient
Area.
I noticed that I was the only one whose
Eyes weren't locked on a device.
Even a white haired lady, who looked much
Older than I, was scrolling down her screen.
I thought of my flip phone forlornly residing in
My purse waiting to be turned on.
As I leafed through the pages of a Smithsonian
Periodical, I wondered how long it will be
Until there is no magazine rack at all.
Some day it may bother me to be so
Outdated, but
Not today.
