Does Not Compute by John HarderExtrapolate 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.
