they dying of the light windows 8

i find

the old 14 inch laptop

collecting

dust on

the back shelf of the closet.

windows 8.

i scrape

the jelly

jam

and peanut butter off

the keyboard,

stick the cord

in and wait.

a loud siren of continuous

beeps go off.

i give it a good

shake.

either

bombs are about to be

dropped

over the city

or this

thing is dead and needs

to be replaced.
