Tired Songs

Stretch and work my brain

Hours into the night

Hours into exhaustion

For words on digital pages

That are edited away like vapors.

I did something there, I really did.

But who will ever know?

Who will ever care?

This entry has haunted me for a week now. I love it. It's something that's troubled me for years, now, the unreal, changing nature of modern communication. Whether just a grocery list or a masterpiece of literature, it can come and go in a fraction of a blink.

If the electrons that made up a poem go elsewhere, was the poem ever there in the first place?

I shall meditate upon that pixel.
