I have seen less yard sales lately,
Driving through the suburbs looking for
Used junk I'll keep on my shelf.
The only things used I can find
Are video games, consoles, computers.

Everything has to be new, new, new.
Everything in the stores has also become
Dusty and full of age.
Why walk around in your anxiety
When you can buy things from the computer
Screen?

OUTDATED.
EVERYTHING MUST GO.
GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.

These words plague big businesses now.
I wonder why I was born before the Internet
Overtook our lives, and I wonder why
I've grown up it being imperative to mine.

I have seen less people in the streets lately,
Driving through small plazas in search
Of that meaning of what it's like to be a part of
​​​​​​​The Electronic Age.
