Cloud Computing
Do not wear your heart upon your sleeve:
Too bad that’s advice that’s rarely taken.
Do you recall when someone had to leave
The office if a close, a very dear relation—
A parent, spouse
or, god forbid, a child—
Had suddenly left
this world forever?
How devastated they were, how wild
With grief, their prospect of recovery never?
But now that there’s an office in the cloud,
It makes no difference
at all whether
We bare, tear,
break, or lose it in a crowd,
Because digitally our heart’s always there,
Like a bird, high above, secure, unstressed—
Tweeting in its electronic nest.
Tweeting in its electronic nest.
Robert Forrey, 2012
