The internet exists
To teach us
All things
Are transitory,
Posted today
And gone
Within
So many months,
Or edited,
Changed,
Along with our
Memories.
Was any of it
Ever really there,
Those words
And news stories?
Or was it all
Just another dream,
Vivid in the moment,
But impossible
To remember
Once the sun
Has come up?
