There’s a
little man living inside my computer keyboard
With
every key pressed, he exhales
If I do
not type, he does not find release
With
every letter I touch, he is set free
I make melodies
with his breaths
He knows
all my passwords
He blew
them all out
I cannot
erase my search history
From his
memory
And I
don’t want to
Every
secret
Every
exclamation
Every
question
Every
mark I’ve made
As I
drifted along the virtual expanse
Was a
downward push on his diaphragm
I hold
the key to the ribcage
Of the
little man living inside my computer keyboard
Someday
I’ll show you
And as a
type this poem, I hear him
Blowing
it out
Voiceless
whispering.
