as a matter of fax the fax machine is obsolete

as are landlines modems and landfills

the fax that factses are still used on the strete

is as ridiculous as handbills

but we need mo dems

and less (fewer) reprehensible repugs

and less (fewer) usses and more thems

less bullets from guns more flowerings on stems

more-er numerous features

fewer featureless bugs

more stoneless gems

no punches nor slugs

and we need kindness

less absent-of-minded willful blindness

axes that are grindless

and a banishment of notions of ugly mugs

and promotional love-potional eye-of-beholder

o p h t h a l m o l o g y

to put the Psyche in Psychology

to stamp Peace On Earth on the last page

of the obsolete non-digital

p s less rage

In order to walk in the Valley/And not be burnt crispy like bacon/You can stride and be bold/Where it’s Climate Controlled/And keep track of the steps you have taken

The Mall where they sell youth and tally-/Ho Lasses and Lads Game’s Afoot/Expressing your passion/With high crimes of fashion/And studies in vellum and soot

The Mall where the old are invisible/Or extras like Gramps One and Two/Where hypervitality’s/No abnormality/But greyheads are chimps in a zoo

Yet I do my Mall Walk and rally/My spirit to Dignified-Stately/And no one to vex if/I slip out the exit/And win introversion innately

Afterword: The phenomenon of the Shopping Mall seems to be on the wane, but Scottsdale Fashion Square, where I do my mall walking, it being easy for me to reach via public transportation, still seems to be bustling. But I do sometimes feel like the answer to “What’s Wrong with This Picture?” when I go there. With my Goodwill clothing and old-age countenance I am literally unfashionable.
