Notes About The Poem

Digital Zoo

I pause at last~ 
a rare celestial event,  
like a comet or a clean inbox.

My files stare back,  
feral little gremlins  
named things like finalFINAL2  
and use_this_one_maybe.

I take a breath.  
The universe holds still.  
Even my husband is impressed.

Then~  
a miracle:  
I drag one folder  
into another folder  
and nothing explodes.

Suddenly I’m unstoppable.  
A digital filing phoenix.  
A desktop deity.  
A sorter of chaos.

And all it took  
was pausing long enough  
to remember  
I’m actually in charge  
of this digital zoo.
