Pale wireless mermaid
washed up on the shore
by bright pixeltide -
is that you darling, up late,
cold, screenblind,
perfecting your proposal?
Looking up cheap flights,

Petal, larva, glowworm -
come, it's time to sleep.
Time to switch off, time
to close down windows.
Come, let's zip the
file and sync it to the cloud.
