Where do the pixels go
After you press delete?
Where do emotions go
Once emoted?
Where does the wind go
Once it blows itself out?
What about shadows
Once they are gone?
Is there a giant shadow box?
Everything goes some place
Where?
Is there a cloud old pixels?
I suppose emotions
Tuck themselves back
Where they came from.
Or end up in another being.
Wind, has to goes someplace.
Doesn’t it visit the wait in
The big waiting room for old weather?
Where does all our talking end up
Once it leaves the talker?
Is there a storage place
For used words?
And love?
That has to go to some special place
Is it the love garage, locker, shed?
And time? That’s the ultimate question
Are there second safe deposit boxes?
Freedom? Racism? Hatred?
Are all these places us?
Are we the grand savings banks
Of all the invisible stuff
That we can’t see?
Which brings up the theory of place
Place is where everything ends up
Like the thoughts behind this poem.
