the one hour printer

with the printer
on the fritz
i buy a new one.
it's heavy, large.
i cut it out of the box,
the Styrofoam,
the plastic wrapping,
find the directions
in six languages,
and some rattling
unbagged parts.
wireless, it says on
the box.
two hours later,
it still doesn't work.
the one eight hundred
line is dead.
the web site gone.
it won't print or copy,
or scan, or do any
of the things it promised
me in the four star
review i found.
i pack it all up
and take it back.
who needs a printer,
anyway.
