Beta Testing a Lifelike Simulation

All I want is 
one thing -
only that one thing -
to go wrong
and not be
followed by
yet another...

Instead that one thing now
jostles and juxtaposes becoming
an overwhelming oncoming
unexpected unplanned for
three four now five wrongs until...

they fall
and cascade
around me
and threaten
to sweep me away.

All I wanted
was that one thing
To go right
after the first wrong -
A roll back now to
a lesser uncertainty -

All I wanted
was to prove
without doubt
that this life is NOT

a badly coded
poorly beta tested
patched up
AI bungled
lifelike simulation...
