Communications

And is this fun? With trotters, trained
To mess around in the slow mud,
And now as hard digits deployed
To tap out words, to then press "send"?

Some may snort at this. They will not
Identify with piglets, groomed
And glassy eyed, exchanges framed
By hearts. It's oh so cute –

But can't you hear the complications
They're sounding out? The signs and shapes,
All set free from stereotypes,
Colouring their communications.
