Needing desperately to refresh,
my hand hovers over
that magic button.
I wait a few seconds
willing my system to respond.
Without too much pressure,
my fingers softly
graze
trace
caress
the key
responsible for my desired output.  
My eyes close.
I inhale and hope
this final stroke
and pressured flick
generates the outcome
I desperately crave.  

Click.
“This system is undergoing maintenance.
Our website will be back soon.”
I shove the computer aside —
gratification denied.
