Yes, you that's who (8/29/09)

Your computer sound is on
and I can hear its voices
or perhaps they do not come
from your machine at all

you are writing some code
that to me is cryptic
I can hear the speakers beep
as you press ENTER

and press several times
in the space of a minute
how many events occur
in a single space alone

one encounters insight
another great dejection
as an ephemerid crawls
cut are the grass-blades

that fall on the ephemerid
and that lawnmower noise
drowns out the one next door
until the lawn care stops

and the bus rolls to the curb
as you bite into a sandwich
and alas the ride is free
alack you've missed it.
