Capitulation

I've resisted the intrusion
of technology into my life —
more than some,
not as much as others,

but this morning,
getting out of my car

while juggling a cellphone,
a digital camera
and a new, stiletto car key,

as another, dead cellphone
bulged against my pocket

and my laptop weighed me down
in the bag hanging
from my shoulder,

I realized that I've lost.
