A Computer
It turns on,
Loads,
Takes its time.
It connects
To the world,
Collects
Information,
Viruses,
Cookies.
It updates automatically,
Just before you save.
It saves time
And lowers blood pressure
But gives carpal tunnel.
It is your social life--
How many of your friends
Like you?
It glows in the dark,
Keeps you up late,
Until you shut it down
Or it shuts you down.
The computer was designed
To be a tool for us
To use, but we
Are the ones
Being used.
