Life On The Hard Disk
Sometimes I wonder
If life on the hard disk
Is a life. What if
I drop the thing – is living over?
What if fire burns
Arlene Faith Nover?
Soft copies have their lives,
Yet messages, ideas, letters
Disappear –
Spheres
Unredeemable.
Libraries that burn to cream,
Dispersed and looted.
It would seem that earth’s
An Indian-giver –
Conscience-free and taking back,
Truths to remain without a name;
Variations-on-a-theme
To smolder, mold
To dust in archives never found,
The once bound, un-.
So when my hard disk too goes ‘bye,
Vanity goes underground, no disk, no I –
That’s that.
