Your Computer Has...
I'm being unwritten
and rewritten
all at once.
My margins are being
scratched away
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
in a new sequence.
I wonder what they say,
because my lips are mouthing
the discarded script
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
has died.
