Why I Don't Have What's App

or leave my mobile phone on all day
when I am at home and doing 
what normal folks do in their homes,
compute, eat, read, and attempt
to keep their house clean and tidy.

I receive very few messages from anyone
and the idea of the mobile phone ringing
whilst I am on the landline
whilst I have paused my activity online
would simply be too confusing to imagine.

I would feel like my home
had become a call centre
and whilst I would take the calls
I would not know who
the calls were ultimately for.

The Slow Life

When I was at school
I was never allowed near science,
I was slow, clumsy and left-handed;
the teacher said 'This is far too technical for you',
so I was engineered to be scientifically ignorant.

I didn't mind that, except that proper scientific approach
of singular serial tasking, Hypothesis, Test, Assess Result
would have suited my slowness perfectly.
When I completed tasks one at a time
that was me to a tee, well cued up.
