The Symphony of the Senses

I am so tired
of 0's and 1's.
I have been digitized,
my life,
my friends,
my world.

I got in the car
and felt the key
hard
in my hand.

Anatomical fireworks
exploded and
I,
real muscle and bone,
turned the key and
the engine turned over.

I drove to the bookstore.
I had to touch knowledge.
I needed a tactile reminder
that everything isn't all
0 and 1
and 0.

I needed to touch
the greats
and feel them
touch me back.
