Humans to Download Their Souls onto Microchips
So They Can Live Forever
-Headline
And so all hopes and dreams and fears and loves -
That beautiful girl who kissed you one night
Your after-school job, your first little car
Recruit training, your Navy buddies, the sea
Your wedding day, your children at their play
Your coffee pals at the Old Men’s Café
The songs you wrote, the dreams you dreamed, your - self
Light-beamed and streamed into a little pill
The chip was lost; in someone else’s drive it sits -
He replaced your soul with Elvis’ greatest hits
