Archaic figures of speech

Do you still 'roll down' your windows?, how about 'hanging up' the phone, no?

It turns out that we do not actually do the things that we use as figures of speech, interesting yes.

Imagine a few years down the line when twitter and facebook are long on, will we still say 'tweet that shit' or 'update status'

Hmmm

Under soft yellow lights

Under soft yellow lights

By Chennakeshav Shenoy

Under soft yellow lights she lives

Unforgiving crimes from forgotten times 

She carries the secret but never speaking

Wealth  poverty goodness and evil 

she is intimate with all

In light the time zooms by but in the careening darkness it can halt to a crawl

Under soft yellow lights

She makes love to them all

Some enjoy her gentle reticence some her fiery desire 

She has made princes and paupers she stands unchanged 

Draped in her soft yellow lights
