rubber, back-
space keys: all
handy certainly, but
what do we really
know about their nature?
It seems like
every erasure we
could possibly make
still leaves crumbs
in its wake and/or
takes extra work—so
how the hell
do we presume
to ruin
the fact that
we never should have
acted at all?
Is there really any
positive action
we can undertake
that will ever
add up to complete
subtraction
and grant us our
sacred lost
energy back?
