Rewind

by Tim Kiely

I worry I remember / differently

every time – / enough to send me

into a scream / information creep

has already made / a new institute

of the old you / your needles around

my red light gone / into the un-

recording stars / I will not let

our unsaid things /define us as

an exploding cell /this is a love

forever / being edited

a new institute / forever

every time – / your needles around

my red light gone / I worry I remember

my red light gone / this is a love

being edited / into a scream

ecording stars / define us as

information creep / into the un-

of the old you / our unsaid things

an exploding cell / every time

your needles around / a new institut
