I sensed from the start that something was wrong
from wrong things got worser even than worse
and by “wrong” I mean “broken” and I thought at first
it might be my heart though I don’t use it much
but as it turns out it’s my head that is broken
and by “head” I mean “mind”
I gave it a whack like an old TV set
next thing I knew it came all apart
pieces went missing as they’re wont to do
they rolled under something too heavy to move
I found the instructions but they’re all in Chinese
and I can’t get Tab A to fit in Slot B
I could buy one on Amazon that’s shiny and new
they have some on eBay that are all slightly used
but everything now is so complex of course
all Bluetooth and wi-fi and usb ports
I don’t need bells and I don’t need whistles
I only need something that’s basic and simple
by “simple” I mean like the one that I had
nothing fancy no frills that’s all that I ask
and I swear if I do find another somewhere
the mind that I broke’s going straight to Goodwill.
