Dearly departed, I have dreaded
checking to see what information
remains indefinitely printed across your screen
Content created sits lost on the internet
it’s been a year since you were last seen online
your parents deleted every account they could find
I want to be selfish and cover your digital footprint
one small step at a time, but
wouldn’t it be nice if you got to be immortalized in this virtual life?
I will leave your comments, and photos, and likes, and posts
to collect pixelated dust
in an electronic exhibition of accessible artifacts
