Laughter in splinters
The dead died down
Uprooting happiness
All the lost winters
The door mats remove
And the staples are stolen
Under the knees
And the walkings stick
Laughter in splinters
All out of underline
The undefined shuffle
You
And me
By definition
Googled is gone
They discover we're not there
Uprooted
New old
Lost found
Perhaps a glitch
The floor mats remove
You're not hiding
By definition
You are there
Googled is gone
Sifting through lines
Through cracks
Of your lives.
