Ode to my laptop.

Jun 25

My trusted machine, my memory aid, holder of all my files.

My work laptop.

At times you have been unreliable yet;

We haven’t been a day apart this last decade.

You were upgraded once,

I wanted your new body to be thinner and lighter, you were not.

But there was comfort in the familiar weight of you;

My 12” Surface Laptop 4, my Windows 11.

Today we must part, my faithful companion.

You will return to the IT storage cupboard and I;

Will move on to my personal MacBook Air.

But I will miss your PC navigations and,

Whoever presses your softly-sprung keys next, remember;

I was your first and I loved you most.

The bus crisis.
