interfering Entities for Joe Poewhit
I cannot explain how I feel
when disconnected from the net.
Isolation lacks appeal
I am frustrated and upset.
I try rebooting my P.C.
May be it’s just a simple glitch.
My empty screen still smirks at me
my anger grows to fever pitch.
I try again without success
The gremlins have it in for me,
delight in blocking my access.
I try and try persistently.
At last again I am in touch
with friends of mine both far and near.
I have escaped the Gremlins clutch
although I know they are still here.
I think they live in my P.C.
or just perhaps in cyberspace.
They interfere maliciously
and they prove very hard to trace.
I wonder what they did before
computers came upon the scene.
Will they evolve for evermore
I think perhaps they might have been.
The source of all the fairy tales
That we are read at mothers knee
and when at last that magic fails.
They have to find some place to be.
Maybe they have a right to live
as sapient forms of energy.
Should I take pity and forgive
the spiteful tricks they play on me.
It seems that I have little choice
I must accept that they exist.
Although sometimes I raise my voice
imploring that they will desist.
From picking on me frequently.
I rather think they understand
and for a while I’m trouble free.
I must request I can’t command.
