one down

crossword

the simple online interface of the
washington post crossword puzzle
pulls up the correct clues instantly,

and allows you to type in the answers,
navigating horizontally and vertically
with the arrow keys at the flick of a pinkie.
it also offers the specific and useful

"check" and "reveal" options.
the virtual generation
has invaded even this last
bastion of arcane vocabulary,
historical trivia, and ambitious puns.

my best friend just finished
the thursday puzzle
in a mere fifteen minutes.
can you top that, you retirees?
you with only your clipboards
and your wooden pencils,
calling into the next room for help,
and smudging the newsprint
with every mistake?
