AN URGENT EMAIL MESSAGE

Splunk butt into swivel-chair,
it sinks slowly.
Scootch up to the desk,
the cool surface chills my skin.
Hand chases the mouse—
that cold, clicky rodent.
Cursor to the icon…
“Basic ISP”
Right click for menu,
Left click “connect”.
The hourglass appears…
blank white screen.
Eyes drag to the bottom of the page
heart holds a beat,
waiting.
Only 20 items remaining…
A dazzling flash—
all colors, pictures, and words!
Finally
the page has arriv—
DISCONNECTED.
