The Fingertip Test
Yes, I remember the 60s
when 5 lb was every mother´s bane
and plating offered some defence
in the battle with the body.
The associations of the new millennium
suggest Playtecs; a computer games
manufacturer´s trade name.
Only the link with warfare remains.
Now gladiators gird their loins
to do battle between the stars.
Fingertips that once pressed lightly on a belly
now flicker over buttons, dexterously.
