Fragments

An email
from a
former
online student
popped up
from some
unknowable
chasm
for some unknown
reason,
A koi escaped
from the Sargasso
of the Internet.
It asked a question
in its digital bottle.
I answered it
and tossed it back
through the time maelstrom.
I have not seen
or heard or smelled or tasted or felt
the last of that.
