Death Does Not Carry a Smartphone - 2011
Steve Jobs’ obituary
was in the paper today.
They called him “A genius;
cut-down before his time,”
(As if one could remonstrate
to Death’s beckoning,
“Not now, it isn’t my time!”)
Perhaps it was karma:
That final deserved disconnection,
just retribution for the ruination
of human conversation.
But no one at the table
was listening, instead
squinting into their iPhones
about nothing.
