THE ITCH FOR REALITY
This is the information age
Where do we go for it?
Many use devises
Local (fake) newspapers
The internet which is
Only 90% fake news
Radio is a possibility
Not always convenient
We communicate
Without speaking
Shop on line; few stores
Do not touch money
Make friends on line
Entertain with devices
Detached from the physical
But crave it as never before
Handshakes and hugs are
In the process of vanishing
We still seek connections
With real touch and feel
Who make the objects we desire?
How can we embrace them?
Reflect on their methods of using
Natural or found materials
We need connections
They are found in art
In the way we decorate
Imitate artistic trends
In our lifestyles and
Sometime soon, we hope
In our return to how it was
When personal was tangible
