I'm being unwritten
all at once.
My margins are being
for a smooth surface
and my words are being rearranged
into someone else's.
My lines of data
are being typed over with
bold little letters and numbers

I wonder what they say,
because my lips are mouthing

and it's garbled and echoing
underwater in the heavy gray.
I am null,
indescribable with no binary
and no operating system.
I am system 32
and your computer
