sometimes you have to destroy
things to make space
we live in an abandoned city
this is where my father was born
across the river my mother was born
this is how you speak
when the world
has gone
our children
are bombarded by images
will our machines
remember us when we die?
Sean Lynch is a writer and editor who lives in South Philly. Lynch's first book of poems "the city of your mind" was published in 2013 by Whirlwind Press. Frank Sherlock, the poet laureate of Philadelphia, called Lynch's debut poetry book "visionary." CA Conrad claimed that the book was "marvelous!" His writing has been featured in numerous publications online and in print, including (parenthetical), Poetry Quarterly, and Tincture Journal.
Will our machines remember us when we die? A classic line.
