Longsuffering

I feel bad for 404

as its page is

never found,

that it’s lumped with

oops and error—

 

that all of the numbers

before it

somehow escape

your laptop’s blame.

 

I imagine 404

was the final straw,

that my browser

was exceedingly patient

until then,

 

that three-hundred and

fifty-seven

nearly incurred

the wrath of Chrome ;

biting its crypto-tongue

until able to take it no longer—

 

while Safari

simply shrugged in its

indifference, finally

went along ,

 

Firefox so forlorn

it will put up with any-

thing—


even a mischievous rascal

who at last  

has run out of chances,

should've surely quit

while far ahead,

 

just having reached

a milestone

it could have settled on,

fatally  greedy for more,

 

405

exhaling in relief,

escaping our collective

frustration, our profanity-

laden rants

by the skin of its teeth.
