It’s continuous now

Work

iPhone, laptop,

Headphones,

Car stereo

Desktop

On the train

In the park

In office

Home and away

That’s bad enough

Then there’s interoperability

That subtle thing

About how technology talks

To each other

Expected to work without

Subtle language, empathy, power

Just co-operate to get things done

And when it doesn’t quite work

It can bring a grown man to tears

Thinking about all the time lost

In that continuous expectation of work

So just get along won’t you?
