Different Lingo
Distant and awkward
Loose wire connection
Dial up for response
Flicker then leave
Cradle the handset
Nurture the output
Believe in networks
Link-up, link-down
Four walls surround us
Four walls protect us
Beams go through the roof
Fragment then sleep
Voices become merged
Faces are symbols
Different lingo
Different dreams
Five generations
Lived here before us
And five thousand more
