THERE ARE PEOPLE SO ISOLATED



There are people so isolated
so far away from things
that they only exist on the internet.
Look under FLAT EMPTY SPACES
and you'll find them hidden
in a landscape of nothingness
miles from anywhere.
Turn up the sound and there'll be silence.
They only speak to themselves
are only visible in their own mirrors
on their own screens
only write what they have to say
on the wind that blows
uninterrupted by housing estates, hills
events, and existence.
You won't find them in the public domain;
they never appear when you tick their box
but they are there
lost on the hard disc
and can only be found when the police take it away
and discover their fingerprints but no DNA.
They are people so isolated
that to all intentions
they do not exist.
