Attention Spans

when we first started video chatting over facetime

we talked for an hour and a half at a stretch

showing marble runs playing word games

(hangman to guess our middle names)

writing our own madlibs just for fun

but attention spans have waned

kids would rather goof around

the red button is tempting

adults try to snatch bits

of conversation while

keeping kids under

control yeah right

perhaps before

too long we

will start

saying

adios

first

and

then

just

hang

up

.
