A famous Greek, a playwright of the Gods
a name from my scholastic memory, my past
now on my computer screen
in the fleeting instant
capturing my attention
the moment before the spam firewall
I glimpsed a message from an Aristophanes
flicker and die in the ether
crumbling bytes of my inbox cascade
What a rare treasure it would be
if the missive was
from his namesake
