Connected to the Computer
I wrote this poem a few weeks ago when I was bored at work. I realized I was kind of in a daze, not paying attention to anything, until I starting thinking about how I was connected to the computer.
Lettered keys clicking beneath my fingers
Staring blankly back at me
Lines and dots and shapes to see
With the backspace key, my mistakes no longer linger
The screen lights up with bright white and font colors
It glows brightly in my face
Reading from left to right and top to bottom
I make sure the document has enough white space
Gliding the mouse around haphazardly
In seemingly random and endless circles
Clicking and rolling the wheel
To the spot where I need to end up
