Poem-a-day - April 4

Today's prompt - write about history

For some reason I have never

been interested in history.

Not museums or antique shops,

Model Ts or vintage anything.

Not old buttons or coins,

certainly not first editions

or pre-Colombian art. Not even

aged wines or fossils.

Not period pieces or original instruments.

not rotary dials or ancient remedies.

Give me paintings that haven't dried yet,

newborns, computerized reality,

synthesizers, i-phone, i-pod, i-pad, i-anything.

I'm in a hurry!
