Here, Here

 

I’m in another state

Will Microsoft updates find me here?

I suppose if I were atop Curiosity

It were working

They would find me there

Its waves or whatever mingling with

The dust of Mars

 

As an electric refugee,

I’m feeling pretty good

Wide rivers and a mountain range between

Us

Everything I wade through for

And as the troubles of the day

Appointments I can’t keep

Should I have remembered them

Dishes in the drainer

They can relax

Empty icebox shelves

What’s left will have to rot, though slowly

A fine for me for having been

Forgotten
