Let me sit a moment in this silence, reduced to the hum of a machine, at rest
It's bewildering, at best, this database, the way predictive text paints a poem with someone else's words
or maybe inked of our own, you never know - some scraps of writing past might now be nestled inside the box, boomeranged back with a prompt
But I won't even recognize myself, reduced to numbers and noise;
What's long gone gets gobbled up, and the future, still a pencil mark away
