All around me, there are these
mechanical and technological
things that are so consistent
about their inability to
do things the way I think they should.
In so many ways, the way I
live my days is channeled by
these wizardly wonders.
I — not so rarely — consider
what life might be like
without them.
And then, during power outages
in particular, I get to savor
the lack of 60-cycle hum.
In this relative silence,
I can sometimes hear my
own heart beating.

Agreed, if the technology only worked like I think it should!
