I have here lately kept my computer busy in thoughts coming out so fast, that I hope it does not crash from exhaustion.

Computer screen why do you haunt me
You gobble up every thought my mind makes
It there a need for me to explain myself
To solve all the world’s problems
To just pound away hoping I make sense

Oh deaf friend who deciphers all my commotion’s
And arranges them in some sort of order
To check my fingers spelling
Highlighting some of my grammar miscues
To create a form that even I can understand

Why is it that I come in confused
And after reflecting within keyboard stokes
Those answers sometimes magically appear
Before me to explore further worlds
Which being to fantasize before me

Yes friend my addiction to you grows
Like typewriters of those of not long ago
The books that held the history bound in them
Pages of manuscripts that were scribbled centuries ago
The stone walls that held the first pictures

So I guess we are stuck together
To record my madness with this thing with words
To make the simple things sing with power
To reach depths that go so far that there is no end
To reach for the heavens which will open up into new universes

We have far to go and a lot to accomplish
But I am afraid that with my time here is on a subscription
And I will fail to take you there
Unless I could get a cool link from someone above
But hopefully not a hot link that will fry you more

I wonder how Shakespeare did it without a pc?
