Relative Something

don’t forget
it wasn’t always this way
you used to actually dial a phone
before that
there wasn’t such a thing
as a dial
you didn’t phone
back then
the masses didn’t know
such a device
would even come to be
expeditions would head out
for years at a time
imagine the waiting
done by loved ones way back home
compared to present day concerns
as you wonder why
on your fancy mobile toy
your text brought no reply
