The Diet Soda of Taking Up Hard Drive Space

smear bristles and a canister of vandalism
laser ablation
bonerocks in dirtstone
memory is more than the macronutrient value of a brain
secret recipes 
lies gossip common nonsense cliche stereotype and idiom
punchclock and heirloom diskettes 
carvings and cavepaintings scars and stretchmarks
seance with second hand suffering
impress magnetic domains
concentric circular tracks sectors with none or one
notarized seismograph hieroglyph 
electromagnetic seen wavelength is captured keepsake 
library museum old folks home
genetic material is everything consequences
