“Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficent means for going backwards.” – Aldous Huxley
“I know there’s a proverb which says ‘To err is human,’ but a human error is nothing to what a computer can do if it tries.” – Agatha Christie
Cyberspace has done it
Cyberspace – has eaten my poem
Two pages- copy, sans paste
Without a trace
The shortcut copied
But wouldn’t paste
Said nothing was there
Anger at an inanimate object
As useful as catching waves
Yet time away might save it
From my temptation to destroy
That which stole from me
So patiently it waited
Fumbling to copy it all
No, of course it wasn’t – being
Extremely technically challenged
Can’t I just blame the new PC?
My MAC, saved as I typed
This old dog – slow but steady
Never wins the race
Technology I’ll never conquer
It keeps me in my place
Humble, frustrated and confused
In the deepest despairs of
Cyberspace, my ire is raised
About to trash it, not my fault
When technology is granted
A royal reprieve – F.F.T.T.

In the immortal words of
E.M. Forster – “I don’t know
What I think, till I read what I said”
Two pages, a poem in the ether
No ropes to pull it back
I stare at a blank page
Bisous,
Léa
poetry, photos and musings oh my!
