Diddly-Diddly Things

Once upon a time kids climbed trees, played in the streets;

kids were free-flowing, kinetic, how’s that for a word.

It strikes me that for quite some time the situation has been

changing vis-a-vis them. I see a stasis, and in using that

word I’m expanding its meaning.

Their mental and physical acuity is being compromised,

or perhaps better said fucking destroyed by diddly-diddly

things which isolate them and surely will give them

enlarged thumbs while they sit on a couch and gain

a fat ass in the bargain, ha,ha!

I really could go on but I reckon you get my drift.
