Vanishing

Today Luke’s name was removed from the blue slip of his beloved car.

The kind people of the DMV tried to find a way around it… but alas.

He’s vanishing
one document
one institution
one registration at a time.

Invalid passports, drivers licenses.
Avatars on streaming services.

A phone number that we never call… “ I just can’t delete it” my sister says. Nor I. And we still pay for the line.

How long will it be before renewals and updates will finally eradicate his footprint on this earth?
