142: Freeze-Frame


Just watched a great film
So much like my life
Punctuated with frustration
As the dreaded freeze-frame strikes.

You’re screaming at the TV
Hammering on the buttons
Willing it to start again
Don’t want to miss a moment.

Sometimes the glitch is fleeting
And you take it in your stride
Sometimes you get slow motion
No matter how hard you try.

This DVD is fickle
And life can be the same
Perhaps it will run smoothly
Perhaps it will cause you pain.

Two steps forward
Then back a chapter
Why not a straight line
To happily ever after?

I have often wondered
Why my life’s been hard
Is it because my disc was scratched
When I was manufactured?
