Assigned Valentine

Just as I arrived on earth
I forgot what I was doing here
My screen-brain froze and blinked
And a vast empty space opened up
In which everything was starting over
But gradually I could unravel
The child I was into his later years
As an archeologist does charred bones
Of his own former life a slave
In time it all came back to me
The long years of studying the clouds
The ceremony of my assignment
The same as it had always been
Just remember to love the earth
