To capture
the moment
we had no cameras
no mobiles.

Captured
by the eyes
by the tongue
by the hands...

Transferred
by our senses,
straight to our
memories.

To be drawn out
at will, decades later,
in a WhatsApp chat
with school friends.

The memories
of our youth
so well stored
so easily retrieved...

While the young
are still hunting
in the memories
of their mobiles.
