Portefeuille Perdu

A Lost Wallet Sonnet

By D. J. ReddallPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Am I more than a deck of plastic cards?

What evidence that I exist is there?

A mosaic of vague, digital shards

How many losses can anyone bear?

Consider how tenuous our lives are

How quickly they do erode and dissolve

How many portals do they quickly bar?

This problem could take lifetimes to resolve

Negotiating with bored bureaucrats;

Navigating endless online mazes

This process could grind any mountain flat

Replacing rogue effects a good mind dazes

Protect your things with steadfast vigilance

Their loss leads to a plunge vertiginous!
