Baud Thought

...And the link did not quite make it
to the internet island so
 
back browser button, forget that maybe
this was perhaps the one
 
dead, sunk Atlantean thought, from
which one click unravels
 
through arches of gateways and
translations of rules,
protocols and etiquette unseen
 
beneath silt and fishes, repeaters
repeat it - back and forth
exchanges of flip-flops
under beaches and ice-creams,
cities, laptops on benches,
under-green trees mobile phones
 
all whistle the same disconnection
