PROMPT: Technology

Daily writing prompt
What technology would you be better off without, why?

Blenders. They’re loud, annoying sounding, and we have both liquid and solid foods — there is no cause for liquifying solid foods.

Plus, I’m fond of all ten fingers.

POEM: Blender Manual

I read you like a person reads

his blender manual.

It’s a necessity–legally obligatory.

 

But meaningless because if a word falls

in a blender manual, does anyone read it?

No one cares until someone loses a thumb.

Words are nudged and danced

into perfect clarity in seven languages.

But it’s 100 pages for a three button machine.

“Frappe” must have a long and convoluted definition.
