A computer screen frozen needing to be rebooted.

When technology fails
All we can do is reboot
Reset
Then test
Again
And wait
Wait
Wait

… until
the buffering
stops
and it all starts
working again.

Starting Over

Sometimes the only thing we can do is stop, reset, and try again.

Test Test is a small poem about a familiar frustration, but it’s also about something bigger: the pause before renewal. That strange quiet between breakdown and breakthrough. Whether it’s a frozen screen or a rough season in life, we all know the feeling of waiting for things to start working again.


Your Turn

Write a short poem about starting over—not the perfect comeback, but the messy in-between. The moment of reset. The silence before restart.

Post it in the comments or share a link. Let’s write through the reboot.
