Error Message Haikus

A file that big?
It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.

Windows XP crashed.
I am the blue screen of death.
No one hears your screams.

First snow, then silence.
This thousand dollar screen dies
So beautifully.

With searching comes loss
And the presence of absence:
"My novel" not found.

A crash reduces
Your expensive computer
To a simple stone.

Three things are certain:
Death, taxes, and lost data.
Guess which has occurred.

You step in the stream,
But the water has moved on.
This page is not here.

Having been erased,
The document you're seeking
Must now be retyped.

Painting By Numbers

If a theory is a palette,
then its canvas is not a blank slate.

Dressed To Kill

Earthmoving

Yet such is oft the course of deeds
that move the wheels of the world:
small hands do them because they must,
while the eyes of the great are elsewhere.

Pity is the feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of 
whatsoever is grave and constant in human suffering

Performativity

And he said: Hey! 
Are you talking to me? 
Or are you just practising 
For one of those performances of yours?
 — Laurie Anderson 'Language Is A Virus'

Undone

yeah it's broken, 
the wheel's still turning
it's turning slowly in the sky

we go out searching, 
we go out climbing
we give everything a try

everybody needs some beauty
some reassurance, 
reassurance

you can tell so much about a place 
by the way they treat their own
the way they treat their own deserters

undone 
thinking this way 
undone

 — David Bridie 'The Deserters'

For Awhile

I choose the rooms that I live in with care,
the windows are small and the walls almost bare,
there's only one bed and there's only one prayer;
I listen all night for your step on the stair.

But I know from your eyes
and I know from your smile
that tonight will be fine,
will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
for a while.

— Leonard Cohen 'Tonight Will Be Fine'

Motion In The Ocean

Far From Perfect

No we never met before
I'm very happy to say
Far from perfect strangers
I'd like to keep it that way

I'm not your psychoanalyst
I'd rather talk to mice
You're so easy to resist
I don't want to be nice

 — John Cooper Clarke 'I Don't Want To Be Nice'
