reBoot

By Liz

I think
.death.
is like f
............a
...............l
.................l
...................ing asleep
or
passing out.

some-Times I
[close]
my eyes
a second
and lose a
CHUNK
of Time.

.death.
is like that
(i think)

Like cut-
...............ting power
to a Computer
.forever.

then
Weather and Time
s c a t t e r
our parts
until they make up
other Computers.

may-be
some-day we'll
< plug >
old memories
into
new machines
and watch
ancient Files.

    Great piece - the parallel to a computer made it a bit creepy for me, as it boiled us down to a very functional level...which left me feeling very "unspecial". Interesting thoughts. Ciao, T/S Scholar
