I dropped my iphone twice
on bare cement
an action which broke
its protective glass covering
leaving its robot guts
exposed
and several
spiderweb cracks
across its once
pristine electronic
surface
its busted visage
is met with
the gasps of
strangers
WHAT HAPPENED?
the poor thing
never asked to be
treated so poorly
but it found its way
into clumsy hands
who can’t hang on
to anything
hands belonging
to an owner whose
brain can’t comprehend
her own value
let alone the worth
of such a sophisticated
piece of equipment
