Given A Warning Early On

this is a warning:
the operation can continue, but
the files you are trying to save
should not be recovered on the same disk
because you may not in the future
be able to access other files

what they’re trying to say
is that what you want to save
you might write over
something you’ll want in the future

well, i can’t see any of my files
and I can’t solve any of my problems
and I don’t know what my choices are

I wish instructions for life
were written on note cards,
in readable formats,
the way instructions are written
on a computer program you’ve never used

the decisions you’d have to make
wouldn’t seem so daunting
when you’re given a warning
early on
