News Update

He died yesterday", she said.

My head is in a laptop
I see it randomly moving around with the mouse;
it's eyes squinting sideways 
over the premature birth of a poem.

"How?" I hear myself say -
I have no clue who she's talking about.

"You stupid" she replied, "you."

I have become a blinking dot of light
on a computer screen.

The poem is paralyzed
now it is never going to learn
how to type.
