Luddite

they mock me
for my old phone
but I still get my calls
they mock me
for my old tech
yes, they're all so in thrall
to the internet of things
and every little toy
that beeps and dings

but when the waves rise up
and when the power goes
their gadgets will all brick,
their gewgaws and gizmos,
and Luddite that I am will laugh
because even without video
I still know how to cook and sew
