the digital footprint
a modern record.
how we keep score,
as we move forward.
hieroglyphics,
poetry and sonnets,
philosophical teachings,
those things so far from us,
yes, they’re quite the same.
only now this time,
it’s constantly flowing
through a digital frame,
in a different way.
the humour
the laughter
the delight and wonder
the experience of human nature
we truly never change
we’ve kept score
it’s all the same
our existence in the world,
being noted,
being recognised,
to show we’re here;
we existed.
we experience.
we observe.
we reflect.
we create.
we document.
we remember.
like those moments,
like those eras,
like those people,
from before.
we learn about them,
day in, day out.
we learn from a distance,
removed from those times.
yet, living a life
near identical.
just in a
different
shape.
at a different
time.
we are the parallel,
we are the reflection,
we are the consequence,
we are the continuation,
we are the mirror,
to those who came before us.
they are part of us.
they may even be us.
so, we do what they do.
we do what they dreamed.
the impossible
from their eyes.
…now so mundane to our eyes.
a new frontier
a new facet of life.
the digital footprint
a new proof of life.
