Today
It wasn’t difficult

Just
A little
Twist of the
Mouse
A wrist flick and a click

A
File had snuck
Into my
System
Taking up space and time

With
Recipes
Of carrot
Cake and
News of Diana’s death

There’s
One called “Us”
Another
“A Walk”
Echoes of time gone by

Why
Had I kept
This dusty
Nonsense
Shadows with no substance

You’d
Think I used
To care or
Something
Thank God it’s only
Bits and bytes

I’m
Taking stock
I’m sorting
Out stuff
Those are all yesterdays
