in Circles

The vultures are circling.
And it’s not because Patrick is another year older today.

But because I have a hard disk crashing.

With guidance from a friend via telephone, I had my head in the computer box for hours yesterday going round and round running tests and replacing parts and still, the drive won’t wake up. So I put it in the freezer and went for a walk. Is it a bad sign that vultures were circling over me the whole time?
