Internet Kobold
What hides in the internet
Tangling code
Sending error messages
Down pixelated roads,
What haunts the ethernet
Bogging down speed
Gobbling MB
Fertilizing ads thick as weeds,
What stirs the chaos
With inconsistent errors
Clicks that fail, or don’t
The jumbled screen of terror,
What rides the loading circle
Round and round
An ouroboros of insanity
That patience drowned,
What slips through every firewall
Tip-taps on every keyboard
Spooks believers and skeptics alike?
The Internet Kobold.
