GOODNIGHT IPAD

"In a world where a little old lady’s whispering hush would never be heard, comes a book for our time. “

“In the bright buzzing room there was an iPad and a kid playing Doom

And a screensaver of a bird launching over the moon,

And there were three little Nooks with ten thousand books,

And a huge LCD wifi HDTV with Bose 5.1., 6 remotes and 3D

And a Blackberry ringing with Eminem singing

And a new Facebook friend

And texts with no end

And a viral clip of a cat doing flips

And the bings, bongs and beeps of emails and tweets

And a fed up old woman who is trying to sleep

Goodnight iPad / Goodnight Doom

Goodnight bird launching over the moon

Goodnight Nooks and digital books

Goodnight Eminem

Goodnight Facebook friend

Goodnight LOLs

Goodnight MP3s

Goodnight LCD wifi HDTV

Goodnight remotes

And Netflix streams,

Androids, apps,

And glowing screens.

Goodnight plugs

And power lights

That guide us to pee

In the darkness of night…

Goodnight buzzing,

Goodnight beeps

Goodnight everybody who should be asleep

Goodnight popstars

Goodnight Macbook Air

Goodnight gadgets everywhere.
