Article Type: Literature and insights From: Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, Volume 26, Issue 7

I’m sitting inside looking outside
At the sun.
Not much
Fun.

I so love the stuff I do
In my cell.
That dark
Hell.

But light is all around me
From my screen.
Virtual worlds
Away.

Think that I may fade away
In the fluoro.
A pale
Imitation.

What I’d give to flee this prison
Of my making.
Can’t helpMyself.

Took the iPad right outdoors
Into the breeze.
Hybrid freedom
Won.

But that just joins me with the
Geeks out there.
Life’s experience
Lost.

I could just go sit on the jetty.
He’s gone fishing!
Much better
Fun.
