There in Place of ‘On’

Brian Looney

I pressed the button, and it didn’t respond.
So I stood dumbly, waiting for what.

I tried again, a dry click again. It was there in place of ‘on.’

I have to wonder when things quit. I have to wonder about the timing.

Material goes, snaps at a point. But I need detail.

The day, the hour, the second. When and why it coughed up blood.

When and why it doesn’t last. If it has a purpose, even.

What’s the point of a routine if little things disrupt?
Maybe I’ll just disconnect my buttons.
