  Why I Take Good Care Of My Macintosh Computer

  Because it broods under it's hood like a perched falcon

  Because it jumps like a skittish horse and sometimes throws me

  Because it is pokey when cold

  Because plastic is a sad, strong material that is charming to rodents

  Because it is flighty

  Because my mind flies into it through my fingers

  Because it leaps forward and backward is an endless sniffer and searcher,

  Because its keys click like hail on a rock & it winks when it goes out, & puts word-heaps in hoards for me, dozens of pockets of gold under boulders in streambeds, identical seedpods strong on a vine, or it stores bins of bolts;

  And I lose them and find them,

  Because whole worlds of writing can be boldly layed out and then highlighted, & vanished in a flash at "delete" so it teaches
  of impermanence and pain;

  & because my computer and me are both brief in this world, both foolish, and we have earthly fates,

  Because I have let it move in with me right inside the tent
  And it goes with me out every morning

  We fill up our baskets, get back home,Feel rich, relax, I throw it a scrap and it hums.
