Nowl
By Jim Clifford
  I saw the best minds of my generation
  sit in coffee shops 
  laptops propped up like rows of tombstones.
They stare down, as if visiting a cemetery.
  I hear Eleanor Rigby’s "look at all
the lonely people."
  Imagine a world free of Holy Mother Media 
  and its Ministry of Truth 
  It’s easy if you try.
  
  What a Brave New World 
  where the first cell was a phone.
  
  They walk the streets like zombies, 
  eyes dead, talking to themselves.
  
  Readers from "Fahrenheit 451" ? 
  No. They are not memorizing books 
  which will be burned 
for taking up space and trees.
