Deletion
And so between inbox
and outbox he lived his life,
hovering over Save and Send.
Now he has deleted himself -
Delete All - a fitting end.
Therefore - clear out the attic
clear out the cellar
clear out everything between -
the greybeard's gone
nowhere to be seen.
No way he'll ever
be back - good riddance
to the septic sceptic. Denier
not of climate change
but that it's man-made.
Deodorise disinfect
decontaminate.
Welcome the clean new tenant
to the cleared space,
the fresh air, hygienic emptiness,
the new broom, the unspoiled
spontaneous innocence.
Straight? - unbending.
Clean-shaven? - beardless.
Uncreased by laughing,
suffering, experience.
Smooth hopefulness,
environmental activist
anti-sentimentalist,
his files in the Cloud.=
