Remember when a flower was
just a flower
and not a flower pic or a
popular fragrance
Remember when a song was
just a song and not a
hit song.
Remember when a face was just a face
you actually saw
somewhere besides Facebook.
Remember?
Remember when a school wasn’t a
factory,
when a ride was sometimes in the back of a truck,
sometimes in a wagon.
Remember when you’d see people in a field.
Remember when it was a long way to town
and church was a little building with fans
card board fans with Jesus on one side,
because there was no air conditioning,
and there were porches,
not porch-like nothings added as decoration.
Oh we got a lot
out of the engineers
and all of that silicon,
and we left a lot
behind.
