You took me to an antique
shop, lingering over the rotary
phones and black-and-white
televisions of your childhood.
Your finger traced the curvature
of the receiver; my cell phone
was a brick in my hand.
Rotary phones were still used until the 80's; the push-button phone dominated the 90's.

my grandmother had a rotary phone.  solid black, no frills.  Made of military grade steel and weighed about the equivilant of a small block chevy engine.  It did exactly two things.  It made phone calls and it recieved phone calls.  We tried to update if for her with a "new" push button model back in the early 90's. Bad idea.  She ended up running us out of the house with her walking cane.:scream  lol.
