Heidegger Poem

For the sake of convenience,
Old man and fiddle with years
of fireside play, is defeated
by thin silver discs.

We, the young poets, sigh
as he gazes bewildered
A button is pushed
and the bow tilts
and the bow falls
to the dust.

We look to those who years ago
saw more than profit and convenience.
We look to those who years ago
were twice warmed.
We look to those who years ago
years ago years ago.
And we are born surrounded
by discs.
