I’ve spent my life
on auto pilot.
Strange frequencies
jamming the static,
muting the volume.
Slipping,
through the cracks
comprising the system,
loading, loading, loading,
not responding!
The result is always incomplete.
Between
the RAM and the ramifications
there is little resolution.
How many fatal errors
does it take to equal a fatality?
There is no Escape
only a numbing sense of futility.
Overwrite or Overdrive?
Evolution of Desolation?
You decide.
