Choas and Plastic

I hate things out of order.
Things like the time on the VCR
Your watch
The bedside table alarm clock
The lid on the answering machine is broken
There is plastic everywhere
The phone
The desk is plastic covered wood with a metal frame like my bed and
The lamp
The lamp has glass too
as does the TV
all of my stereo equipment is plastic with fake metal parts
even my trackball is plastic
very cool plastic indeed
the ball rolls on pins that are little metal rolling pins and somehow that "signal"
travels down a wire to the box called my computer
which is a bunch of plastic circuits that are either on or off
and something happens to make a small arrow appear
on a screen that resembles a TV also made of plastic mind you
to move in sync with that ball made of rubber?
how weird
