It does not disappear,
although it seems to;
it is actually
thinned
the particles spread by the eraser
like smog across the board
occasionally preventing us from seeing clearly,

or the eraser takes in
like a vicious sponge,
a black hole,
a venus flytrap.

No eraser can rub it out of existence,
for mass is conserved.

But how does a sperm
and an egg
become me
if mass is always conserved?

Cells replicate
we run out of space
because there’s too much mass
from too many cell factories
on this land mass.
