DIGITAL MIND SWEEP

by Sharon Rockey


Aren't computers wonderful?
So much you can create!
Future innovations
Are hard to speculate.

But someday, I imagine,
A programmer will find
A way to download to a disk,
The contents of my mind.

Then I'd insert this floppy
And on the screen I'd see
Instructions that were written with
Sublime simplicity.

"Open up a Window,
Do a Save As 'Clear'
Type in every single thought
You wish would disappear.

List every gory detail
And when you're finished... hit
Command A to select all
Then hit Delete and Quit!"
