Mac OSX
Oh-so-xenophobic
Boundaries declared
Everyone is foreign
I'm a PC
A Perfect Calamity
Pop ups of panic
Inundate all screens
Splitting a hard drive
Cuts memories in half
Gigabytes of blackout
Despite keystrokes logged
Each screen attempting
Is deeply fragmented
Brute force will only
Freeze everything once more
Healing, a defrag
Takes restarts, and time
So CTRL+ALT+DELETE it all
And Force Quit
Cross fingers
For full system recovery
Hold breath.
Stare into blue.
If keys are pressed too often
The letters wear off
The grooved scars, records
A stenographed life.
