Reflections on Cleaning My Mouse Pad



foam rubber pseudo-rodent raceway

i trace my lines upon your skin

run circles round you mind-

less of the dents and ruts

burned on your screen

by me

until at last

history’s detritus

cries for removal and

unceremoniously you go

into the sink for scouring ‘till

you emerge grooved, but scraped clean.
