We sprayed graffiti on our Facebook walls
    tweeted outrage to the websites of senators
marched around our living rooms with Wii
    zapped cyber-petitions to the Pentagon –
some of us phoned in flashmobs; lots of us
    taped everything for youtube. We were virtually
unstoppable! Actually though, some of us did
    hit the pause button. When sidewalk time
came, hitting the asphalt, fault lines opened
    up along the edges of our keyboards, striking
letters into questions older units used to ask –
    like, to be or not to be – you know that one?
Whether to take arms against a sea of troubles
    and, by opposing, end them? Question is,
is there – I mean, like, now – an app for that?
