And Worm Tongue cast the evil crystal ball at the traveling party of the Ring. Pippen saw it and touched it, alas. Gandalf warned him not to look into the ball, to forget about it. Granted, the phone is not a ball but we stare and stare into its glow giving our thumbs the conniptions. Numbers and names appear but there is no way out of our loneliness in this the age of the jaded, brimming, bacteria jar. Look at the blank faces in the phone light, how sad we gaze. Our thumbs came around to grasp the early fruit. It is fitting that they help us grind to a halt with our eyes away from each other.
