Unplugged

LORD, lest I be completely
  two-dimensional as a screen,
  present and absent as a missing remote,
  poor as a few cheap laughs,
  useful as a dial-up modem;

Before I completely
  subscribe to the simple over simplicity,
  waste a lifetime on prime time,
  entertain my imagination to death,
  watch everything and do nothing;

Would You unplug my heart?
(Or at least recommend a book?)
