The poem (version 2) feels very abstract and symbolic. I got the impression of a child playing with an iPad in a fancy restaurant while her rich, old-fashioned uncle grows more and more annoyed. I could be a million miles off base, of course. Either way, there's a nice rhythm here and some neat, effective imagery. Thanks for the read
