I’ve tripped over the cord,
the important cord,
the most important cord,
the cord that connects
my mind to my eyes
to my ears to my senses to my life,
the cord that powers my thoughts
with creativity and reasoning,
with intelligence and procedure.
Without the cord in place
i cannot even trace
my memories of what to do.
Where does the cord go?
What do i do next?
How do i get the system back up?
I’ve misplaced and lost almost every tool.
I don’t know the number for the repair man.
I am alone in the dark with a dim flashlight.
