Sometimes my computer eats
things.
It hides important files
and folders that I try to save.
It is especially aggravating
after I have worked on
Documents for a while,
Then I save them,
Try to reopen them,
And they’re gone.
Poof.
Vanished.
It would be nice if
something,
Anything at all,
Worked the way it is
supposed to.
It’s bad enough when I
yell at the copy machine because
Some random asshole in the
building is “remote printing,”
Which kicks my current job
to the curb.
But when my superior says
it “pisses (her) off,” as well,
I know the world has gone
to Hell in a hand basket.
So, when my computer gets
hungry and eats my work,
It aggravates the shit out
of me.
Regurgitate my damn work,
You dreaded, “intelligent”
piece of technology!
It’s like feeding time at
the zoo --
Except that the animal
screeching
Is me.
