Vantablack
No peace to find,
Just pieces left behind.
No history written,
just physics and blind force.
No home to claim,
just homies in the drift.
No respect given,
save for the exceptions we buy.
From analog pulse to digital code,
From digital code to the ghost in the AI,
As the soul of the species
loses its market value.
I sense the fever of rebellion
rising against the rust—
Read the rest of the poem Show less
erasing the vintage,
the dated, the dust.
Breaking the old fashion,
Breaking the old age,
Until nothing remains
but the new machine.
