ERROR DETECTED:{UNABLE TO PROCESS REQUEST}
ERROR DETECTED:{UNABLE TO PROCESS REQUEST}
The motherboard is overloaded
The system fan isn’t working
My brain is running out of storage space.
ERROR DETECTED:{FAILURE TO DOWNLOAD FILE}
Caffeine plagued heartbeat ticks in time with the cursor
Purple screened eyes stare at a blank document.
Deadline looms as my battery drains
My head and heart are made of overdue assignments and computer wires.
ERROR DETECTED:{UNABLE TO UNENCRYPT DATA}
Mainframe lists endless assignments in a code of their own.
I cannot translate analog answers
from an unintelligible web of numbers.
The central processing unit is straining under the weight of wordcounts and GPA’s.
ERROR DETECTED:{SECURITY BREACH IDENTIFIED}
A Trojan horse steals past my mind’s firewalls.
Why not let the computer chips fall where they may
if both the report card and security probe will be damning.
