Racking, Fracking, Frickers, Dickers

Racking, fracking, fricker dickers -
there it goes again stirring all my inner jitters; 
my pc, tablet, phone and friends
blank screens locked immovable in place again
while tweets and texts disappear in phantom space.

Techno blab excites me
and the mesmerizing call invites me
but searching play on the blank display cueing
frustrates my mind to forget just what I'm doing
and at my fingertips the troubles brewing.

It's a slam dunk OCD call
to play games and tweet within the web  thralls
lost in wavelength microwave wifi
while communication stalls and dies
and that's the truth, no lies.

Curse you internet!
