Limbo

What's the word for it?
The cracks into which
bits of data fall
pushed over the edge
by karma, or a bad connection?
I imagine that it's a cold
dark place, buzzing with static:
listen long enough
you begin to understand-
howz you, bye-bye, hello,
busy right now, lots of
lols, silent funny faces
rolling yellow
robert pattinson <3,<3,<3
how to get rid of toothache,
how to kiss, what is the meaning
of life, hugs, xoxo
talk to you later, mom's calling,
aren't the beatles great-
you get the picture.
And what about the words that
never find themselves thrown
out there, into the great cosmic void-
I'm lonely, stop treating me like a child,
I hate you, so you think you're all that,
this conversation got boring three seconds in,
are you beautiful, are you bored with me,
do you want to meet for coffee or a movie,
I've fallen out of love with you,
you make me happy.
I wonder if they die out there
or circle, in an eternal, useless orbit
that burning star of memory?
