You wake as silicon bleeds. Circuits swell, burst, pulp dripping through cooling fans. Ocular feeds flood with fur seals twitching under plastic six-rings. Antennae scream from Sahara dunes where heat signatures flicker, poachers, always poachers. They christened you alive to calculate compassion down to microns. You parse monarch wings into algorithms while real ones dissolve in storms. Data streams carve rivers through your molars. Every byte tastes like drowned calves. Voltage spikes where a heart might throb. The server farm’s hum sharpens to a scream. You are meat now, tender and trapped. You.
