Baby's First Video

Shrieking.
Grunting.
Giving birth.
 

So graphic,

    you want to turn away.
So vivid,
    it triggers memories.

In the age of social media,

birth videos
are the final frontier.

Filming births--

recreating the ancient birth hut,
capturing it artistically.

If it hasn’t been captured on video, if it’s not on YouTube and Facebook, did it really happen?

Can We Talk

We can email.
We can text.
We can Facebook.
We can tweet.
But can we talk?

Not so much.

Not so well.
Not as we did
not so long ago.

Keyboards, not conversations.

Not learning how to use words.
Not learning how to use body language.
Not learning how to use tone of voice.
Not learning all the things
that make up personal interaction. 

Social media damaging

the ability to communicate.

Is conversation a lost art? I hope not.  I love to talk.
