Looking at my computer screen for ‘Unfinished writings’ I found this “Added customer . . . Press backspace to remove” And I envisioned a harried store clerk Or a call-in service person Smiling and pressing a key And the irritating customer Disappears ---------------------------------------------- And on the same ‘page’: “Skip to content” Which could refer to meeting a new person All bright and shiny And full of promises And do I want to take the trouble To befriend them? Or, does it refer to my search Through religious and philosophical tenets Looking for happiness Instead of following all the offered paths, I could just skip to content (accent on second syllable) OR skip to content (accent on first) Just look for compassion (For All life) And below that was “Using Gmail with screen readers” Does this mean that Uncle Sam is standing behind me And reading all my email? I’d turn around and say, “Get a life!” And NOT MINE Or does it refer to blind writers? I guess it Could I have a friend who is blind, and uses his computer which speaks I used to get that on my computer Until my IT man cleared it off - You know that wavery tin voice: “You are moving the mouse to . . .” what ever! I really can’t remember the exact words; Just that I had to hit a button to shut it up Every time I started the machine And it irritated the heck out of me But I guess that’s another story So I think I’ll stop here and relax Skip to content
