Requiem for My Lappy

We were so happy, you and I.
All we needed was a little power
and we were off to parts unknown-
to visit Krakow and Myspace
that was all we really needed.
YIM, AIM, GMAIL- we miss them already-
connections severed by the unexpected departure
of your heart.
The battery- your,
ours,
and the abuse that I put you through...

How could I know you'd move on
without me
to computer heaven?



(Yes, my laptop died. No, I don't love my laptop as much as that awful poem might make you imagine. Yes, I hope to get it fixed. Yes, it's a power issue- I think.

G'night, e'ry'body.)
