A Pronounced Deficiency


So sorry if I seem in a hurry
today. I feel compelled to rush
what I’m about to say. No, I’m
not in any particular danger of

which I am aware, although I
am of an age when at any given
time now, failure of my vitals
could conceivably occur. You

see, each morning left to me
in this life of mine, I try to say
in a written way something of
value, passing along to you,

hopefully, a tidbit of worth.
However, be that as it may, I
need to speed up whatever
I find at the top of my mind

today. For you see I have been
pressed by this message of
a pending deficiency which my
computer has deemed urgent

for me to heed—its battery has
but 10% energy remaining in its
optimal capacity. Oh damn, now
it’s only five. For now, my friends,

I bid you a temporary farewell.
I shall return soon provided that
the infrastructure of my personal
physicality does not falter or fail.

And until such time, I remain
hopeful that this inconvenient
delay shall not render me obli-
vious of that which I was pre-
viously about to say.
