Does Not Compute

by John Harder

Extrapolate the data
from the fibers of my being

Calculate the integer
of my life hitherto

Interpret what it means
to have something to live for

Reassemble the components
of a heart in pieces

Contemplate the implications
of a mind razed to ruins

Describe the beauty within
possessed by a wretched fool

Sum up what it means
to be not only living...

...but to be alive

Author's Note: I've attempted to have every thought in this piece convey a "new and old" theme. I believe I've been at least somewhat successful.
