Long Silence

silence

long silence

like an argument from authority

based on millenia of hearsay

something was said

but the context was lost

in the game of telephonic history

time marches on in the directions

humankind takes it and memories fade out

people we know become

people we know no more

previous dramas on the reservation become 

period dramas on the PBS and the BBC

and the sports complex spotlights shine

across the ninety-four into the backyard

only for a moment and the actions there

and elsewhere pass on into the ether

the children grow up and

the adults grow old and

the generational cycles

power on or peter out

despite the long silence,

attitudes and idiocy rarely

change things despite the fact

that things always change

no wonder the 

old television fuzz

is called static

Author's Note

Pretty straightforward here.

Now a days we get so lost in all the technology and multi- entertainment media we are forgetting to appreciate and enjoy the human connection with loved ones.
