How We Crumble
The faculties assigned to data storage / and
retrieval fail proudly and often / to be a
superior species
Cerebral matter turns to earth / and does not
swell when watered / to be a
superior species
There is less and less / as we shrink
old but
Trees do not forget to grow / God can salvage
a dying evergreen //
