The 12 loops of Goodbye

Image
  The Twelve Loops of Goodbye The fluid rises. The cryo-hiss is deafening. And then... the program starts. Twelve times. The system cycles, and twelve times I see you. It starts the same. The image freezes in the dark. It’s you, BK. Or... It’s your idea. You’re wearing the rig. The goggles are locked on me. I try to say your name, but my mouth is filled with ice. I love you. God, I love you. But you don’t blink. The Neural Glitch. Something is wrong. The memory corrupts. I see "corrupted code" trying to stabilise across your face. Your eyes... behind the lenses... they twitch. Microscopically. Are you hurting? Or is that my pain rippling through the connection? A low-frequency pulse warps your skin. You look like a stranger.

  Poem  I am a soft-shelled bomb. I present a greater risk than the credit given. You cannot sense my threat. You just won’t know. My beauty delays your response. My beauty delays your reaction. The chemicals that you breathe in. The chemicals that you absorb. And with each generation, you dumb down. Your children are exposed. They are the ones who are most damaged. Do not seek my awe. It deceives your ability to countermeasure. Forensic restoration is too late. Vignette  I know my body has been degraded, and you know your body is contaminated. Our bodies contain a plethora of chemicals too numerous to list. Yet, we continue to digest these violating agents as they camouflage their outcomes. We accept the unknown knowns even under the pursuit of festivity and celebration.  The organizers choose not to warn us, and we act as nonchalant victims. Too concerned with prophesized threats to hold fear on digestible toxins. Profit and chemical regulation relies on the immedi...
