Ode to the Genius Bar: a thank you in Haiku

summer of iPhone

giddiness, joy, in-calling.

but then! Great Sadness...

only 12 days old.

Where have you gone fancy apps?

blank screen, blank stares... blank.

Life seems so empty.

In the hours without you...

disconnected, LOST!

AH, but there is hope.

genius abounds at Apple

I will text again!

Lady in Orange

(so sweet in understanding)

handles phone with care

And then, THERE IS LIFE!

diagnostic tests confirm

my baby is fine.

Thank you geniuses

this joyful summer: Preserved

Let's go to the pool.

1. If you've known me forever, the caption on this photo reads:

"Ahh HAAA! Who's the babysitter now, bee-atch!"

2. If you met me within the last 18 months, the caption reads

"I'd like to introduce you to the all new, metal-free Courtney 3.0"

3. And If we've never officially met, the caption on this photo reads

"All is right with the world. Nothing to see here. Move along. "
