A generation locked in parallel play;
moving in a perfect skein.
The V-formation
of their intertwined lives
not truly lived,
now digitally defined.
I see it happening
day by day
as I walk beside the lake . . .
a pair, a trio, a quartet, still more
of friends and lovers barred from hearing
their treasured companion
eyes locked on a screen
fingers methodically scanning.
A generation locked in parallel play;
moving in a perfect skein.
