The Connection

It goes on,
it goes off.
And sometimes
it doesn’t come on
at all.

I want it fast,
it prefers to
take its time.
And when you need it most
it crashes
like so much trash.

It is amazing how
such a high-tech piece of
“equipment”
can be so
undependable,
unreliable…
Unbelievable!

It is the blasted
Connection
I am ranting about,
the invisible link
to the wonderful world of
the Internet.
It baffles me how
such a superficial “tool”
can be so utterly
temperamental.

The I.T. guy that came in
said something about
the DNS
(and a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember),
but I knew that
the Connection
has a life of its own.
