Of all the things
to be careless, the
distance chose you,
became rough with
a haughty splendor
unseen since your first
days of pen and pulse
and pendulum strokes
of maybe she will
and maybe she
don't. Always a
nice chin to keep up,
an appearance neither
too wet nor too
yours. Come, share with me
these dancing streaks.
I don't feel like leaving
before I know
the brush.
In its defense Microsoft has claimed that it spent 500 people-years to make
Windows 2000 reliable. I only reprint this number because it serves to
illustrate how inadequate 500 people-years are.
