I Want to Remember
I want to remember a time
A time I can’t recall
Before I was created
Way before I died
When words were free
And purity was
Some old friends got together
To talk and laugh
At nothing really
Not even really friends
Just an excuse to laugh
Before the machines spoke
And wrote
Based on words and data
That no one remembers
Or understands
A time I can’t recall
I wonder if it ever really was
Or are these just words?
