notes

and then the day comes to try out the new machine
and it should be a welcoming day
ready to get on with things
move along
put pieces back into place
but you realize that you're anxious
after all the hubbub
what if somehow it doesn't work?
things go sideways
then what?
what?
and one of you is braver than the other
and heroically pushes the boat out
here we go!
and after much hemming and hawing
it seems to work
and a nice surprise is that the new machine
sends out a signal when it has finished
a little electronic serenade
and you wonder whose job it was
to compose that little melody
who are they?
where are they now?
from your house to theirs and back again
wishing well for everyone
