shreds

every newly
machine-unreadable
number cross-unreferenced
and crossly unexplained
remains

my unique id
to someone
‘s intents and purposes
and how easily the “i”
can be picked from
a card index,

or exported
/ re-entered
as a creature,
of journeys,
multibuys,

discounted,
ripped, wrung, overdrawn
and direct-debit-per-quartered
save for that digital death mask
