Control Panel

Excuse, may I perhaps suggest that you adjust your settings
Access my local area network by rebooting your memory
Restore it to our history, the mail, the messages we shared
The cache of stored work temporarily filed away remotely

Technically challenged by the format you display
Data of no gateways or connections in sync
Prompts the recalibration of my control panel
To search and review my settings reboot or even restore

Closing all windows and formatting firewalls
erasing the data, the history and their locations
troubleshooting the back pages encrypted
with messages no longer managed or stored

This media of you remains pasted on a clipboard 
Components that await configuration and review
Left to their own devices by default in my domain
Downloaded, bookmarked in favourite library files

I delete all prompts and search settings and all tools
Inheriting only drivers generic and with false attributes
I apply these settings, I delete the data sources
Denying permission to any external links of you.

I just wrote a poem that I was going to title "Contol Panel" as well. I am still working on the title but in my research I found YOUR poem and it's great. I especially love the line; "This media of you remains pasted on a clipboard Components that await configuration and review". Your metaphor is so thoughtful and consistent, thank you for sharing.
