Cress

Loose Keys, Cress Seeds, Watered Cotton.
I named my keyboard Cress.

He Thrived.

I fed him input till flowers sprung.
Rich,
A fruitful type.

Friends called it drowning words of irrigation,
My Lepidium Sativum who grew one foot tall.

This poem "Cress" refers to my current departure from Information Technology (Network Engineering) Diploma Course. Information Technology was my satisfice. I could no longer find what I had once felt for Information Technology. We grew apart. To me, working in IT meant nothing more then money.

I wanted a picture to remember the last year of my life. So, I made a Keyboard Cress out of an old soul, my Samsung Keyboard.
