The ink on my nib has run dry. The cursor is flashing, giving me the evil eye. Shakespeare, Longfellow and even Poe; know. Know the loneliness of a dry pen. At least they were spared the "tic,tic,tic" of the accursed cursor. Mockingly it baits my thinking, sending me round the bend. Poe had a Raven send him mad, I've got a cursor. (In computer user interfaces, a cursor is an indicator used to show the current position for user interaction on a computer monitor or other display device that will respond to input from a text input or pointing device. The mouse cursor is also called a pointer, owing to its resemblance in usage to a pointing stick.) The curse of the cursor. That's what I have, not a dry pen, but an impatient line blinking. Always blinking. Does it go to sleep? It's the refrigerator light of doom, you try to catch it unawares; but NO. It still blinks.
