Stadeolaíocht

Le Marcus Mac Conghail

Brúim cnaipí na haipí ag ceapadh

go gcuirfí ar an eolas mé

ach in áit am theacht an bhus a thabhairt dom

ar mo ghuthán

faighim radharc fíor-ama

den tiománaí ag féachaint orm

(is é ag tiomáint an bhus thar bhráid)

ar ardú mo chinn dom

English translation of the poem 'Stadeolaíocht'

Stop Science

by Marcus Mac Conghail

I press the app button thinking

that it would let me know

but instead of giving me the arrival time of the bus

on my phone

I get a real time view

of the driver looking at me

(he is driving the bus by)

on the lifting of my head for me

What does the the title 'Stadeolaíocht' mean?

"Stadeolaíocht" is a clever word made up of two parts. 'Stad' means bus stop, and 'Eolaíocht' means to science, similar to the second part of 'teicneolaíocht', which means technology. The title doesn't have a direct meaning. Instead, it helps us see how technology is a big part of our everyday lives. It even shows how it can distract us from simple tasks, like catching the bus.
