And with a single plastic button click, I can end it all for us.
Heart of it all forced into technology's massed produced outlet.
We can spend years of 24-7 coming to a point only us two admit,
& then, boom! Erased by one wrong selection on a monitor at 3 AM.
Easy goodbyes, & yet the "ignore" feature makes it easy for us
To hope that the fight will continue in person.
But as quickly as limitations of 13 ,17, 19 or, wow, 21 inches
Can Incorrectly Beguile Meaning,
So it is, we can quickly accept or delete the feelings.
Does my server have an ability to unsend that which I feel regret?
How do I handle it now that it's done and I've had time to think?
It takes the fiber optics a minute measure of a second to deliver
That which it took me hours to want to not say to you.
And so, God bless the computer age!
I have my 233Mhz processor to thank for so abruptly allowing
Me to throw away what I have fought for for over 2 years. Geez!
After so little time, this damn machine needs replacing? And yet
It can replace you in a matter of a nano-second & then allow you to
Use millions of colors in a moment's time to tell me to go to hell.
I'd say go figure, but why? Your PC can do it so much faster.
