Superb title. Splendid diction. Even the tunes/croons rhyme work here! Today vs yesterday – iPod vs Gordon Lightfoot (I adore that pun!); the playful, clever logic of lines 3 & 4 and again in lines 11 & 12. The ingenious use of the cliché “travel nowhere fast” finishes off this bittersweet, romantic/comedic, perfectly crafted Shakespearean sonnet, that makes Mr. Lightfoot’s song “Race Among the Ruins” seem, well, rather pedestrian.
Bravo!
