A New Feature
my doctor asked me
if I’ve seen those fancy phones
around these days
with displays that can
bend and fold into
a bunch of different shapes
I told him I had heard of them
the cold white light in his office
felt like his gloved touch
I asked if it was the same technology
everybody was freaking out about
a few years back
obsessing over curved televisions
but how can glass bend
open and closed
we got bendy glass now
I probed
confidently he told me
actually technically
it’s plastic
but yes this will be like that
I’m glad you understand
what’s happening
because today’s procedure
really is simple
I’m going to slice off
all of your skin
and replace it
with that flexible plastic
you’ll be a touchscreen
your new skin will be able to
stream video in 4K
