Printer, printer on the table

why are you not fucking able

to do the task you're meant to do?

One more try and then I am through.


Hewlett Packard, Dell, and Apple:

these machines I cannot grapple.

In truth, I’ve no wish to learn

whatever makes these foul beasts turn.


But, as it seems, I must for work,

the insides must begin to jerk

alive, and marked up paper should

arrive out one side, inked and good,


so that I might complete this task.

Though I find it odd I must ask

a thing such this technology

to serve one biologically


older and better, without doubt;

the maker of referred-to bot.

It seems to me us humans bow

to our new electronic cow.


Printer, printer on the table

why are you not fucking able

to do the task you're meant to do?

‘Now to the dump!’ I say of you.
