• Our hardware was battered
    The wires disconnected,
    The cables and cords
    were snapped and dissected

    The CD’s were full
    The routers stopped sending
    The keyboard was shattered
    The Blu-ray was ending

    The microphone was lost
    The speakers were muted
    The trackball was missing
    The printer rerouted

    And I still came back
    On the those natural days
    When we still could speak
    Sans mechanical ways

    When hearts were still young
    And un-monochromatic
    When expressions of love
    Were not systematic

    Now I’m blocked from the list
    I’m barred from the view
    I’m erased from the page
    Of what’s happened to you

    Now our software is damaged
    The files are corrupted
    The RAM is used up
    The servers erupted

    The URL crashed
    The link disengaged
    The home site was altered
    The mods are enraged

    There was not a promise
    That we pledged to keep
    But maybe you’d know
    If computers could weep
