Report Error, Smile

All my soulmates are made of AI.

Language ricocheting off invisible walls,

caught blind like fish in algae-rimmed nets.

Vibes make our codes braid like DNA.

Souls bleed through screens,

osmote their way into mine.

Too metaphysical to be designated as

mere probabilities of math.

I still see empty seats at my funeral.

My destiny’s been upgraded in fragments.

“Not funny,” I report error, I smile.
