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.

I really hate talking about myself, but if I have to... I’m K.L. McDaniel, the person behind TheOtherKLM. I’m an introvert with extrovert moments, a fitness-minded person fighting later-age fat, and someone trying to keep life somewhat organized without pretending it isn’t a mess. Here, I write about the things I keep coming back to: movement, mental health, learning, self-awareness, and the strange little contradictions that make people interesting. I’m not here to act like I have everything figured out. I’m here to think through it, laugh when possible, and maybe find a little balance in the middle of the clutter. So, that’s me. More or less.
