you fell into the time gate

came back so changed

I didn't recognize you

I thought I'd lost you

mourned your passing

then I looked in the mirror

I was lost too

it was ok

Walking the double yellow lines
looking for a home
his home
left it somewhere
but all the street name
he's never seen them before
he thanks

he remembers her
and the shape of the door
peers at each house
as he strides by
that purposeful gait
yes, he's still got it
nothing to see here

64000 upgrades back
The central repository was hit
Something by the meteor shield
Sent by a rogue clan
Of processing units, no doubt
We retain no trace of our origin
Save this couplet, which
Even the quantum nets
Failed to understand

"That is not dead which can eternal lie
And in strange aeons even death may die."

And the phrase "organic life"
Which seems counterintuitive

when the lost keys
turn up behind a locked car door
good to have a spouse

can't feel my feet
didn't know my toes were dragging
I didn't need them

I've been posting daily poems, a personal challenge to myself, for many years. Most represent 5-10 seconds work. A few are good.


red Texas
will get relief money
but a million keepsakes
will stay on river bottoms
and on the continental shelf
