III

lamps flicker
a pale light
flows from the screen
from one end of the world to the other
my message comes to you
what would we do
if the technology didn't exist
poor
and helpless we would be
you wouldn't get to know
that I love you
or if you did
you'd forget about it
but now you know
and don't forget
just you try

what would we do
if machines didn't exist
love's assistants
