Press key on computer
Dialogue box: Drink Fluids
I shower and dress slowly
My mind as active as the porridge
In my bowl
Take Vitamin B
Says the screen
Though it will not inure you
To this days horrors
At my desk taking questions
Dialogue box:
Do you really need to be here?
Insert Reply
Jesus I don’t fucking know!
Are you feeling lonely
Yes!
Would you like to
Dialogue box: Speak to a Councilor?
Yes please
What is your first question
What is the meaning of life?
Starting a bit high aren’t we?
Ok, why does the sand crab crawl
Across silent shores
Why does the sturgeon thrust itself
Upon Norwegian shoals
Why do green turtles lay in the same
Place every time every year
Why do dolphins rejoice in the fact that
Whales reappear in the same place
Every rotation as if navigation
Were a function of magnetic polarization?
I look, I google, I search
Yet still I find no dialogue box for this
Has windows let me down?
Or has reality found a way around
This digital interface
Into the real world?
