Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Computer
By Kevin Kim I.S.O. Wallace Stevenss Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird
I
Oh boy! The new games that you could play
II
Getting rid of the old hunk of metal that is
the ancient one.
III
Excuses why you cant get homework dont
fly anymore. You have a portable light
notebook at your hands.
IV
It is not the one we desire but the one we
need for class
V
The prize you win from a lottery by just
pure chance.
VI
Trying to stay with the times. The race is too
fast. Dont get left behind. Its a mess,
nothing makes sense.
VII
The peacemaker that will stop arguments in
the family, allotting time on the family
computer is now unnecessary.

VIII
Company issued, dont even know how to
use it. At least I didnt pay.
IX
Just more junk for the storage closet.
X
Your life, your source of vitality. Feels
draining if it isnt within a hundred feet and
agonizing if you arent on it for five
minutes.
XI
Oh! A nice gift from someone you know. Its
just what I wanted, this will make life so
much easier (sarcasm).
XII
At last an upgrade from the old, worn out,
expired, piece of garbage that was my last
laptop. Finally! The processing speed is
amazing!
XIII
Another one? I already have three.
