PENELOPE 2001
In the pre-dawn
the shuttle hums at the gate
back-lit in red
engine running
children weave
around his legs
daddy daddy
bring me something
the sky grows pink
gears crunch the van is gone
she pours a cup of coffee
and begins to wait
CLOSED LOOP
Do not remind me again.
I have downloaded you to
short-term memory.
Most of our files
are incompatible but
we are having fun
a triumph of mind under
<BODY>. Do not remind
me
here I am again
waiting
<waiting>
</waiting>
maybe today is the day
it will all work out
this time
but here we are, saying
<B><P>goodbye</B></P>
Do I want to save
my changes?
I never make
changes
I'll do it all again.
Please
do not remind me.
