“A COMPACT LIFE” 9 Sep 99

These are my memories
in picture frames, picture sleeves
golden moments of magical code
alphabetically filed on CD
index catalogued
no longer a record collection
but an archive
what it must be like
to feel alive

what used to be you & me
is now memory
what used to be us two
is now just me. And you.
What used to be one
is now none.
I’ve no choice about being heartbroken -
I’m moving on.
