Nah

If you could back up your life
now
and come back to this point
when you die
- like a file restore scenario
would you?

This question got debated
for about
twenty three minutes

not by me
not by anyone actually
nah
it’s just a question
that I thought of
but had no one to ask

does that make this
a poem
about loneliness?

I thought of the question
and then thought
it might be the kind of question
computer freaks would discuss
in the pub

Then I thought
“mmm, that could be used in a short story”
trouble is
I’m having trouble
writing short stories at the moment

does that make this
a poem
about bad writing?

nah.
