Who Remains Remains Inconnu

Once life’s oldest and most

Obvious metaphor

Spots you, you can’t remain

Unknown, you can’t remain

Alive, you can’t remain

At all. Bits will remain—

Energy, mass, data,

All conserved, no worries

There—but you’ve been spotted.

You are known. You can’t stay

You. If anyone’s beat

This rap, they’re inconnu.
