Last Day, why do you taunt me so?
"Viral" they say. Nay. I say "Addiction!"
Why can I not leave you for more that a few hours?
Why do you haunt my dreams?
Your pages fill my browser: Maps, Forums, Twitters, Flickrs...
You taunt me with your images.
I click, but no I am rebuked "COG Tag missing."
Where are you then missing tag? Oh that I could possess thee.
Yet I kid myself. Could I even handle the power that you yield?
Have not all the others gone mad?
...and the countless more that are maddened by your absence.
They chase you around the globe.
They do not see you where you are, but see you where you are not.
Wait! Is that one over there?
"No." I ask myself "why would they put you on that cat?"
I'm imagining things again. The shakes are back...
Oh, I cannot focus. I cannot work.
People at work are starting to talk.
I can hear their whispers. I know what they think.
"You don't understand," I scream at them. "You can't possibly understand!"
How could they understand?
They haven't seen all that you can be.
They haven't seen all that you have become.
Wait. Someone has found something. I must see.
I click. The screen begins to change. Have I found purchase?
10%...20%...35%...42%...67%...what? Don’t stop.
Oh, why do you tease? Must I reload again?
Stop. I must break this bond you have over me.
I can take no more of this.
I vow to not stare upon your temptuous pages again.
I vow no longer to search in vain
I will not long for what I cannot have.
But I am weak.
Maybe just one Last Day...
