Download limits
My broadband scheme
allows me to chronologically download
approximately 2.6 megasecs
per calendar month.
Once I exceed that pre-ordained limit
the seconds speed up and I am at risk
of cutting into next month’s allocation.
It’s a matter of using it wisely;
staying away from the dodgey sites,
and trying not to squander too much
upon the unworthy distractions
which seem to have proliferated
these recent years.
Those who know best about such things
tell me that I must strive to achieve
the maximum result
from the largest number of seconds.
They insist that I must expend my supply
in a prudent and balanced manner:
committing myself to a calculated juggling
of employment and family; friendship,
community, God, art, leisure
and pleasure. I am also required
to work diligently in order to counteract
the various quantums of guilt
that attach themselves
to some of the above activities,
and which seem to be wired-in
to my way of being.
I am, by nature, profligate,
and on those occasions
wherein I am less than vigilant,
the kilosecs slip clumsily through my
wasteful fingers;
especially when I become lazy
and allow myself to dream.
