For those of us who assume a clean conscience
because we worry so much, a shadow is no more
than something attached to us, exposed to all
and sundry by our blocking out the natural light.
In the past people lived well by writing
but in these present internet led times
writing has diminished in value
-to the point where we think
the internet us rather more
than than usual toil by natural light.
With every small munitiae we leave
we create a new kind of shadow,
which remains for the future to puzzle over.
