52: in for the long haul

and staring back at you is a blank digital canvas
all set to go in Times New Roman 12
waiting for you to type something
anything to make time move forward again
even when it sems there's no progress made
because you hit Backspace about twelve thousand times
waiting for you to hit that magic key
that period down in the lower right
to tell you that you've just completed your sentence
and you're about to serve another one.
