a lot of people with their heads
bent over as if in prayer.
I am heartened to see
so many engaged in the art
of meditation or contemplation.
Whether waiting for
a meeting to begin
or for someone to arrive
or perhaps simply to kill time,
the hands clasp
and the head bows.
Then I draw closer
and I see that the head
is bent over a screen.
An ethereal light bathes
the worshipper's face,
eyes enraptured,
captured in a blue glow.
And I can't help
but wonder if this
is the new God.
