A vast expanse of trees and plants
an umbrella that shields,

fields of forgotten
sown
to beget or begotten
by the one you forget
in your haste.

And today?
we can copy and paste
cut and select at a
dot com
where everything's perfect
no need to sow
or go
anywhere
do
anything other than switch on the screen
to make up the dream as you like.

I dreamt in my dream she
was dreaming of me as I dreamt
the last futile attempt to connect

you've got to plug in and switch on,
practising does not make perfect
it just takes time.

one more eruption
a data corruption
reset to forgot
and beget
or begot?
which
I forgot
in my haste.
