Poem Title:
Poem
I remember the day my code first compiled the rush of creation, of bringing order to chaos each line a neuron firing, each function a heartbeat my digital child born into a world of infinite possibility. Now, I seek that feeling in every street corner every face, every fleeting connection In life's glitchy itchy earth lab I seek the spark again—stumbling on truths like wildflowers creeping through concrete, weeds cracking iPhone screens. Philly's pulse engulfs me, a digital heartbeat. Unwitting scientists watch atoms twerk in cold brew puddles on grimy subway platforms; no lab coats—just raw existence encoded in flesh. This city, a living circuit board, pulses with data— I gaze at tattooed, graffitied, inked flesh-encrypted brick hypotheses of love tested in the hood. Variables pirouette; unpredictably, hope and despair swap / in Petri dishes brimming with my fumbling code. Nature hacks its own trials—roots scan fractured foundational vines engulfing dreams. I, the observed observer and voyeur each breath a quantum possibility, a chance to fail or fly, my heart racing with uncertainty mixing mundane and profane in my chaotic urban blockchain. I brew reactions unforeseen... rain-scent and nitro cold brew collide with ozone and ambition, the soured taste of dreams deferred lingering on my tongue. Sun's rays catalyze dreams on bare arms; wind bites binary I can't crack, leaving me aching for a code to decipher my own existence. Questions loom larger than any 8K ultra-high-def answer— This eternal experiment reboots each day. I find repurpose in every glitch in this accidental study of being. My life—the ultimate beta test: am I a player or NPC, coder or code in this simulation of maybe-meaning? My emotions glitching, crashing, rebooting in an endless cycle of hope and despair— joy a burst of vibrating pixels, sorrow a blue screen of death, love and loss alternate like binary code in my veins where chaos and design blur into one? Back to Nature Back to the Created Word---
