\nDesktop icons moving about on their own
\nElectrons rearranging themselves
\nHow the hell did that get down there?
\nEmail alert!
\nPenis enlargement!
\nWhere did my file go?
\nEnlarge your penis!
\nBut my file\u2026
\nTake a pill!
\nWhy is the Internet so loggy?
\n 
\nAre you big enough to keep her happy?
\nWhat\u2019s your girth really worth?
\nWhy do we pay more and get less?
\nFor pills
\nAnd the web
\nExceeding your allowable data for the month
\nMust have been Siri\u2019s fault
\nBig penis!
\nCouldn\u2019t be
\nShe\u2019s my one true friend
\nFor at least the next four hours
\nOr I consult with a physician
\n 
\nTo make it all go away<\/strong>

\nRon Olsen is a Peabody and Emmy award winning journalist based in Southern California. He is recently retired from the Tribune Company, where he was stationed at the Los Angeles Times, working with the newspaper’s writers and editors to adapt newspaper stories for KTLA-TV. He is the author of more than one-thousand essays and an occasional poem. His essays have been published by several local papers in the Los Angeles area. He began writing poetry just recently. He says he loves the craft of saying more with fewer words, with each word playing a significant role in the piece. “I am sometimes struck by my poetry”
\nhe says.”I’ll look at what I’ve written and wonder where it came from-some wellspring that’s beyond my understanding. What a strange and wonderful process.”<\/strong>
