Analysis of Apple TV for The Elderly



Apple TV For The Elderly

We may not be lost
      but we are floundering
soul-dulled amphibian-like
     swimming blindly
in large schools upstream
        without pliable thumbs
or purpose
        eyes rolling on opposite sides
of a mind in twilight
        locked-in stress-related, unable
 to surface for personal choices,  
        to scroll with dexterity and click
on that beautiful beach
       of Unlimited Streaming.
