or not, design
spreads like an illness,
while understanding
runs
like molasses
in January—like snatches
of jazz
blown across
a vacant lot.
One simile
per customer
seems more than fair
to us (herein "the users"),
however provisional
(like "a fox")
or obsessive
(like "a virus").
With the oxygen crisis
just a smudge
on the horizon,
even piss-
poor communication
is a shot in the arm—
is an RNA fragment,
stealing
into the heart's blood
of billions,
trolling
for forgiveness
in the comments section.
