old things

used up cartridges of printer ink
empty film canisters storing old things
my audio jack, finicky once wet with snow
i twist the cable trying to get the sound back

i hear a girl crying in a bathroom stall
being broken up with on the phone
he hangs up and she calls back frantically
begging for an answer to "what did i do?"

the battery of my secondhand tablet
is running out much quicker these days
i get frustrated, my study interrupted
and in that moment i hate technology everything

my cell phone's cover screen cracked
sometime when i worked at the library
i've thought about getting it fixed
but i'm just not invested enough
