I examine the icons
on my new smartphone.
An old film camera;
a rotary phone;
a windup alarm clock;
a postal envelope
They should all be updated
to represent modern-day technology.
The camera
may be replaced
with an image of an iPhone.
The old telephone
could certainly be exchanged
for an iPhone.
The alarm clock,
the envelope –
they should all be switched
to an iPhone.
Not to mention the contact book,
the game console,
the media folder,
the calendar.
iPhones.
