rubber on pencils, back-
space keys: these are
interesting things, but
what do we really
know about undoing?
It seems like
any erasure we
could make
just leaves crumbs
in its wake and creates
extra work.
Are we not fools
to presume
we could ruin
the fact that
we never should have
acted at all?
Is there really any
positive action
we could take
that would somehow
add up to
complete subtraction
and grant us that
precious spent
energy back?
