Death of a Keyboard

another day, another computer borkage.


hot day, soda glass and ice
set down on my desk for now
I crawl in to my captains chair
my left knee too high, too in
slight nudge is all it took
green apple wave crashes over
the first few drops scout
the alpha-numeric landscape
they flash the thumbs up sign
to give the rest the go-ahead
over the rim goes the neon liquid
followed close by icy boulders
splashing onto the keys and beyond
a whole glass full the board absorbs
'cept for that which went further
the instrument drowned in wet sugar
say hello to my new black keyboard!
