TRACE

TRACE

I knew I was going to going
to leave no trace.
But that we were all
leaving no trace,
erasing ourselves
frankly appalled me.

No more messages
leaving these shores
at lightspeed
inadvertently or
intentionally is
thing hard
to get one’s head around

a Universe of silence,
devoid of intelligent life

seems to defeat the idea of
purpose, meaning,
evolutionary achievement

I did say intelligent
but this intelligence
of ours

infinitely stupid.
