She's a 401(k) American.
She cannot find his name...
Lost.


Can no one benefit?
They are leaving a piece…
She forgets, a former human.
Leaving.
Lost.
Forgotten.
It’s likely to grow worse.


No longer forfeiting a piece of security.
For his benefit, he changed his name.
Lose a piece of her,
A former human.
Lost.
Unable to locate.


Old.
Alone.
Humans ultimately fall.
