Word vomit
backspace
delete
too much...pull back
no wait...needed that
now simply...not enough.
let's try a different medium...
pen in hand
unfamiliar foreign object
letters to thoughts,
scratch, scribble
only symbols left on the page...
colon, asterisk.

oooh.. i love the way you round it off with a digital kiss.
i like the motion of this write, and the way you've only used phrases.. we think in phrases.. and you capture that feeling.. the in-progress process...
nicely done! good luck in the contest!

Thanks Third Eye!...I'm glad you found amusement in this as I found while writing it...I wanted to poke fun at how today's world is so enveloped in technology, that we sometimes forget the simplest ways of expressing thoughts on paper, and all that comes out in the end is what we are naturally inclined to do...tap on a keyboard!

yes, that's true indeed.. in addition to that, we fretter so much trying to express ourselves in words, but all we end up is with the simplest of actions.. and now that technology has come, rather than devoting time to a solid expression, all we do is IM with the cliched chat lingo..

Shame, shame on our society and our dependancy to quick fixes!...yet I cannot completely bash as I fall prey to those addictions too at times!
