Technology, She Wrote

I read about it on

Wikipedia, definition

from the Greek,

science of craft.

recalling I could not

drive a car, do not

have a cell phone,

barely manage my own pc.

 

Ironically, in one detour,

I earned a living,

for three winter months in a

computer room at

senior citizens center

“teaching” how to turn one on,

when most of them wanted

to play on-line bingo.

 

My success was showing

at least two women how

to get started, and would

share another would-be

artist information about

important people in

Afro-American history,

printing out photos he

used as models to draw.

 

While writing this I

used technology while

adding boiling water

to grains of instant

coffee as a break from

poetry and words.

God tells me she did not

want me to be a technocrat.
