Wrenches

It shouldn’t be this hard.

I know life can throw
     wrenches
       junk
              crap
           turns
         t
          w
       i
          s
         t
           s
                at all of us
           but it makes no sense
                why this should be
                      so excruciating
                      so difficult
                      so maddening.

Yet why do I
     keep expecting
         things to be different?

I fall for it
   every
   time,
     hoping that someday
           things will work out
              the way they should.

Instead
     I am disappointed
           frustrated
           angry –
                again.

Evidently,
   I should stop hoping.

Months
      years
            decades
                    don’t change the outcome.

Time
   and technology
          still
      can’t make printers
                      print.
