Introductory Portfolio, Poem 5

Usage Error
I never thought that
I was meant to be used…
This way This abuse …hands
Touching where I never believed
Never Dreamed

When they think
They turn me on
They really
Turn me off

Poking, prodding
Touching, tapping
Pressing in places
To which I respond
Really against my will
Messing with my sacred parts
Feigning an innocent toddler’s curiosity in a
World of new doodads and gadgets
Only, its not so

Innocent. And after they use me I am passed on
To another, a stranger
With germy hands Invading
Passing on sickness and disease
Through me, a vessel for everyone’s use
And I work endlessly, all day and night
Restless

I grow warm, burn hot, weary, sick,
But they pay me no mind
I whirr and cry out in protest
I get louder and louder

They open windows
So many windows…
Chilling my screen

Until I
Freeze,
