We watched you die in a New York hospital
from our engineering lab here in Oregon
There you were in our system log files
your cardiac alarms ringing off the hook
Ventricular tachycardia!
Nurse! Come quick! I want to live!
And your impossibly brave heart tried
to hold on–for twenty minutes
But nobody came until it was too late
Shit hit the fan later. The usual inquiries
and finger pointing. We hooked you up
but your friends weren’t there
And everybody needs friends
on this cold blue ball
