One New Notification

A sudden vibration interrupts 
Billie Joe Armstrong
just before the chorus 
of *Shenanigans*' fourteenth track.

My Blackberry Pearl decided
to inform me
of one new notification
from Hotmail.

Annoyed, I hurriedly
scroll to the interference
to check what was *such* important
breaking news:

*CNN Breaking News*
*--&nbsp;&nbsp;U.S. Military launches missiles against Gadhafi's forces in Lybia ... *

With a slight grin,
I press *Resume Song* 
with a new appreciation
for Mike Dirnt.
