Technology is a Two-Edged Carrot Grater - doggerel

by lawrence-hall

A Meditation upon Computer Updates After an update: I cannot delete intrusions that should go away I cannot save that knowledge which should stay I cannot find the files that went astray While codes and access are changing every day People I don’t even know want me to pay For services and tweaks they want me to play My work-rhythm will go much faster, they say Or else they’ll block my already-slow pathway An update is litter on the information highway A metaphorical carrot grater of existential decay
