The Source

It is inanimate:
not gold
nor lined with silver

it is not imperative
nor irreplaceable
it is,
according to most

incapable.
of.
evoking.
emotions.

yet when it slipped from my hands and I reached for it and missed
I screamed, Noooooooooooo,
as if it were part of
me.
falling.
toward.
self-destruction.

It is only an
iPhone
it is not irreplaceable (if I win the lottery or something)

yet it represents
dreams.
unattainable.
finally.
reached.

the keeper of old dreams
my conduit to new dreams

held safe
until I let it slip between my fingers – all. by. myself.

Note: Dropped twice in one day on tile floors… still works… Frustration was expected, but the welling of tears was not…

    I know this feeling – wasn’t it Charlie Rose who wore a bandaid across his facial owie which he created in order to keep from dropping his iPhone? Gotta love it! Nice post!
    My information is printing white-on-white so I have no idea who I’ll be when this is posted! Grin.
