a poem for computers

by Solarious Crane - Taurus

one little mistake
and the clicker
clicks 
backwards
and everything is lost.
one flash from a window and
everything is fried.
one step of a feline and everything 
is off.
oopswrongbuttoncocksuckfuck
and the screen now reads
'blind melon lyrics' 
again
oopswrongbuttoncocksuckfuck.
ever had that happen with a pen and a paper?
a pencil and a napkin?
an eyeliner stick and some doped up chick's journal?
a bet, a razor, and parchment paper?
me...
i'll take 
ink lead graphite make-up or
blood
any day of the week
over 
buttons screens whining fans pixel deception and
alright fuck it i know as well as you know that 
the internet and computers are in the homes of
america for 
pirating
gaming
adultury
and 
pornography
and not one other fucking thing
excpet maybe helping your brainwashed
child learn the false history
of man and country a little easier
quicker
and less substantial
the american way
until this monster came along
 and made it the way of the world
and this was another poem until the wrong
button got
hit
and on paper
the word
'hit'
would never have accidentally become 
'hoe'
because i can play a fucking guitar til the cows
return to their stead with these fingers o' mine but typing, man, makes a hit
into a hoe
 and the backspace button is my only pal
and last time i (h)it him asking for help
he erased it all and
oopswrongbuttoncocksuckfuck
if it wasn't for weed i might break the whole fucking
machine
and to think i paid $2500
for this all-encompassing do-anything
beast of technology that
does offer a financial return with
 tens of thousands of dollars
of free music and movies and
yea, i was able to go check out the new
Sigur Ros video 
(Gisoli... i highly recommend it)
and yea, i get good info on shit i need info on
but the fucker erases my poems
and like everything else that has great material benefits 
it tends to steal away little irretrievable
pieces of one's soul.
oopswrongbuttoncocksuckfuck
you dirty dirty little girl, you...
always teasing your daddy with the pains
of out-of-the-blue inspiration...
the kind of fucking cunt you wanna hug into you...
if only for the tiny, illicit moments
of fucking the world.
but i tell you still the word prefers 
the smell of dead tree and the flow of 
ink into the recesses of each and 
every thought
to the stale
betrayal of this leisure prison
we've all bought.
