sheila

my printer
has a mind of
it's own. it's new,
and cute, and flashy,
but it still churns
and rattles, stops
and starts, begins
and ends when it
wants to. it can
do alot of nice
things, like take
a fax or send one,
or make copy, or
scan a photo.
she's very very smart.
but the buttons
that i push don't
seem to matter much.
eventually it
get to printing,
but it's always
whining about paper,
or ink, or a loose
connection, something.
nothing is easy with
her. it reminds me
so much of my first
ex wife, sheila.
