Communique from the UK:
Hand held phones released from owners
On the streets of London they say;
Pinched from the hands of those strollers
Who pass oblivious of the day.
Pavements are cleared; it’s time to play
As zombies are released and cured.
Though police don’t see it that way -
A crackdown – overtime secured;
A social service sent away.

- Comment from author about the poem: News has reached the Antipodes of a spate of phone thefts on the streets of London. Should catch on in Sydney soon, where the young who complain of being lonely and isolated (news item) will be liberated, look around and interact.
