new technology
these emails and text messages
some say it loses some authenticity
maybe it does
the immediacy of it all
this 'now' society we live in
some say we need to slow it down
enjoy the flowers
process a little more before we just type some thoughtless words
and press 'send'


nevertheless
words are words
written or typed
misread or not
