The Only Technology Worth Saving
by Jason Harris
the only technology worth saving is language
i only want to talk about love
at a time like this. for example:
what a trick god played when she said
let there be light and there was light.
what a trick god plays when she breaks
open the firmament and sunlight topples
the earth. strikes its yellow hand upon the spotted
coat of a snow leopard. its claws pierced
through the furred body of a pika
as i sit safely within the last discerning moment
of the world, within the last discerning moment
of this poem about the sun calling forth the night
we were alone in a room with nobody else in it
and woke to the sun alone in a room
trying to save the only thing worth saving
