New Mind (poem)

 

Does anyone know

where i can get a

new mind? Mines not 

what it used to be,

knackered neural networks.

 

I dunno if it picked

up a virus, some kind

of Trojan thingy. Or

if the coding is just

outdated, defunced.

 

It doesn't save when

I want it to, the graphics

seem blurred and

the sound only really 

works in one speaker.

 

The spell check has never worked,

and Excel is a mess. Its

takes a good hour to boot,

usually accompanied with

a faint smell of burned rubber.

 

I don't mind a refurb,

As long as the processor

is decent and it doesn't

whirr, buzz or overheat.

Not like it'll have to mine bitcoin!

 

The kid down the road with

the glasses says he could soon build

me one from scratch, all he'd need

is a few hundred quid and 

the "specs" I wanted. 

He said it'd be all new

Better, faster, stronger than before,

wouldn't get overwhelmed by data

and less likely to suffer breakdowns...

...but who'd be programming it?

 

Maybe I'll stick with what I got.

Give the vents a hoover, try a

new operating system, some new

software...And a bit of patience

when the old bugger wont load.
