love hate affair with computer and TV

who is the master?

by jake cosmos aller

I sometimes wonder
Who is the master
Of my life?

Is it me
Or is it my computer?
I have a love-hate affair
With that damn machine.

Love it when it does what it should
Hate it when often it misbehaves.
Driving me quite batty
As I curse at the machine,
Which merely smiles
At my frustration.

My computer links me
To the broader world.
keeping me connected
across the span
of time and distance

I love my computer
and sometimes
it loves me back.

But, still I wonder,
Who is the master of my fate?
Is it me
Or my computer.
