Error:

server can't be found
would you like to try again?
power down, power down
twenty laptops
or one soul and spirit
are malfunctioning
have lost the connection

a misshapen left ear
and a weak red pen
work to define "chordata"
the most complex of all
separated by a backbone
from the rest
support that crumples under pressure

because we're fragile
and can only swim so deep
before our eyeballs squish
our lungs implode
and our spines snap
as the warning window reads:
server can't be found.
