The moving finger

Comment fields on internet sites
never have an edit function.
Once you have clicked \”Submit\”
there is no opportunity to correct errors,
improve grammatical structure,
turn le bon mot into les plus bon mots,
change half truths into full truths,
reverse the sequence of sentences,
spell Samuel Johnston without the t.
Whatever you have written becomes
engraved in electronic stone,
there until the cold death of the universe,
there to show that you are an imperfect,
sometimes plus imperfect human being.
Just like life, I submit.
