In undergrounds, in cyborg towns,
Now rewinds, hurls you through space and time.
The longest year back rusting here
Among the parts and discarded robot minds.
Amazing halt. Dead stop for all.
All drives will fail in gutters of a cosmic force.
I blame the sun for going out.
I blame you all—you conned me into a technoid.
I will delete me.
My latency, my latency
Is driving me down to depths unexplored.
This you is me? Such urgency…
To know which one is gold and which is shit.
New gadgetry found in my sleep
Numbs my mind, locks my hands to the board.
On circuit maps, on mismatched loads,
Blind eyes wide in waves of puncturing static.
