Remember...Remain Calm, Collected, And Cool...

Matthew Scott Harris...ARG

This, a near imp

possible mantra to apply

when this 2009

Macbook Pro went awry

triggering this enduser

to experience tidal waves of high

anxiety, which besieged this fie

foo fighting dirt po' pa well nigh,

who might need buy

another laptop, yet my

anorexic checking account

on life support, no lie

could not afford, (to sigh

phone even one red cent,

all because ordinary healthy

electrons deployed aye

did NOT see usual expected

predictable apple luck

quiche hun activity via my

left and right eye,

yours truly did not espy

usual kickstarting linkedin magic after

preliminary electronic setup

unexpectedly failed to start -

no idea why

unbeknownst tummy, what

ghost in the machine didst defy

programming code of honor,

whereby pixel display

unexpectedly exhibited "abnormal"

computer behavior -

like a turncoat ally

meaning one hoop wrest

illegally start button signaling

subatomic warfare unleashing - guy

did missiles as taught

during routine training

to turn bot tin down stevedores

loose on the Jobs (dan-g) rather, I

watched slack jawed,

as that very singularly narrow

vertical lined band width

(analogous to a medium black

sabbath tipped magic marker)

did NOT display

prestidigitation instantaneous flash

demarcating binary DMZ

(demon mailer zone,

viz dividing screen in half, -

versus top to bottom array), qua

incomplete automatic

initialization stopped

partway thru automatic preparation,

after which cryptic

error message appeared,

which malfunction found me

bursting with damned tears,

and ready to cry,

(which gush of tear

rivalled Hurricane Florence),

cuz mechanical and/or

application so much

of my creative

write minded person

(reed literary) self choked life vie

ability to live, thus the only alternative

...insane asylum to apply!

desk top in view, the quick thinking

USB port, and thus breathed easier
knowing a backup got made.
