Typewriter Series #3049 by Tyler Knott Gregson

 Will this be the death
Of poetry
The slow end of
Sweeping symphonies
Of word, of sound?
What will be written
when we forget what it is
to make sentences swell
and dance across a page,
what when we know only
cartoon image
in miniature, when we
communicate
in film clip and repeating
motion?  

Will we weep at the passing of
poetry, will we notice it at all?
Though I call out often a distaste
for the noise and din of this place,
I am terrified
of a silent future,
thumb taps on glass
and the blue light glow illuminating
some lonely face.
