Technical Difficulties
If I knew how to apply
Wouldn’t have to rue it
As computer navigating’s
Software often changing
What’s the actual entry point?
What program would lead me?
Always bumping up against limitations
But is it really best when sky’s the limit
When added hurdle of the brain injury
Gets in the way of what I can perceive?
I mean, I see it – but something will not believe it
And gets hijacked with cars crashing along trains
Well, I Mean

“Lost Then Found” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, October 4, 2026
Lost then found
Was never ever really
Makes no sound
Just when you think you can’t it’s
Solid ground
And even if you knew it
Could confound
Here then there
And you can keep on searching
Everywhere
It’s in the silence lurking
Don’t compare
To what you thought it should be
Have a care
Just let go
You’ve got to catch its meaning
To and fro
The end then just beginning
I should know
My tail is always spinning
Down I go
Learn from me
If nothing else will matter
I can see
The world in all its patterns
Synergy
Is waiting for you claim it
Come with me
Lost then found
Was never ever really
Makes no sound
Just when you think you can’t it’s
Solid ground
And when you don’t believe it
Hear its sound
(Fast, revolving, spinning layered techno with lead female vocal insert-magnified gradated synth depths)
We’ve Got To
