Ode to Computer 

One day at Three Cubed

is all it took.

One look at computers all over the store

decided me:

I want to be a computer.

I want to be laptop.

Blinking Dells

never seemed so cool.

Let me be Microsoft

and I can show

the world.

Yes, I’ll risk being fried and yelled at.

Just let me be a computer,

sitting on the floor

alone with a desk for company,

and wait for you to

learn, chat, watch, and teach from me.

When that timer rings in heaven,

I’ll tell what just happened down here.

Go on.

I’m half computer

already.
