Are You Alone ?

Are you alone ?
To answer the question requires a mirror
To answer the question requires another
Another, another to bounce the sound off
To listen for echoes
Of mimicked returns

A radios power diode glows red
No sound
White light blinds from my laptop screen
Black Tar McAdam outside
And wet winters sheen                                                                                                                         
Memories now
Of days ago
All feel as distant as hills in the snow
General out lines however do fade
The details eroded
Corrosive melee.
