Poetry & Prose by Carol J Forrester
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
I know you’re not a computer,
this isn’t an issue of overloading
or not enough space on the hard-drive
but really
most things can benefit
from a little reboot from time to time.
But perhaps it’s a connection issue?
We could give the cable a good wiggle,
turn it over
a strong blow to clear the dust,
see if it fits in better that way up?
