it starts,
a trail of nothing
but tar.

to my left,
it infects
tab,
shift,
control.

to my right,
disintegrate.

spreading its malice
home,
delete,
pause.

blocking my hindsight
and stopping me
from doing nothing
backspace,
return,

escape.
it ends....

because we type sentences instead of characters,
its easy to leave a window during a chat
and come back, and nothings changed.

But if we type characters,
instead of sentences,
its impossible to take your eyes off.

Because if you do,
you miss significant
information.
Like a backspace.

I wish life had a backspace key,
One that could only be found,
Inside of me,

So I can start to hit the button until,
I'm back to a fresh page of life,
And have had my fill,

I wish stress had a volume knob,
One that can suppress,
And stop my silent sobs,

So I can twist to a more silent serenity,
Live life on life's terms,
And be happy for the clocks infinity....
