LIFE ON DEMAND

Life on demand - -
nuclear food,
VCR's.
Things we waited for now
no longer require
patience.
Life is too quick.
The sense of rhythmicity
fades away.
I remember waiting every spring
to watch "The Wizard of Oz."
Do you?
Now
we can watch whatever we want
whenever we want/
Satisfaction decreases as does
the wait.

Somethings still take
nine months.
