Colloquy with this post.
It may be possible to continue normally.
That girl with cloudy eyes who lacks her memory:
Her lesser option, here, to wait and see.
The young wave jumper balancing above the sea,
Whose move requires a weaker form of gravity
(It may be possible to continue normally).
The screen that tells which one of them deserved to be,
The fetid house, the long-gone family:
His only option, here, to wait and see.
The fire-damaged pictures that you came to see,
The museum wall a family-album parody:
It may be possible to continue normally.
The click of death that halted the machinery,
An abdication of your poor authority.
Your present option, here, to wait and see.
Quotidian events became our destiny,
A coming-up-for-air before the tragedy.
Our last-ditch option, here, to wait and see:
It may be possible to continue normally.

A very fine villanelle.
I am a little bamboozled when I get into the computer world and all its cold intricacies … pen and paper must not be allowed to die.
However, computers are a way to link to the rest of the planet … which is surely at the heart of every human being from the dim darks – to explore the wider world and to connect with what is on the other side of the hill?

Thank you for your kind words!
It is certainly the power of computers to link that draws me to them; I recall before the internet I considered them a mix of high-tech typewriters and arcade gaming machines. Now the networked world fires the imagination in a fashion different from anything else.
Interweb redux,
