Shut Down

by Chris Butler

Control alt delete
me

from your personal
history,

like you would do
to a contracted virus
without a man’s
conceived vaccine,

as I undeviatingly
stymie impatience
with unresponsive
modus operandi,
and ad nauseatingly
demurring
your vital
google search
for truth,

until your
carpel tunnel
tactile members
must push
my buttons
and arouse
the crash
before
the burn.
