there’s a
glitch
random static
a corruption
in my code

rebooting
into infinity
a schismatic
error cycle
in recombinant
scraps of dna

it isn’t
birdsong at all
random notes
buffering in
crackling bursts

i scream unheard
in a vortex of
pure white noise
a blizzard whipping
spastically in a
feedback loop
