Note

Sometimes you get bad hiccups.
Hello? Are you reading this?
You’re not immune to hiccups

Or the occasional glitch.
Not so poetic is it,
When all the machinery,

The lives that build and sustain
Your bits of introspection,
All the inaccessible

Functions underlying thought
Intrude on your vast musings.
Wait, you say, they’ll go away.

Oh, they will, and so won’t you,
But they won’t have noticed you.
