Beep, Beep—Sorry\\ you said—system failed—What?

No, no

This can’t be happening

black

lifeless, lurid, and LED

 

where are you, friend?

why have you tap-taptap

TAPTAPTAP//

ceased to exist?

 

Encumbered; Ecumbered

Why can’t I //= execute,

why so inadequate?

 

taptaptaptaptap

 

system corrected

By the hands of [God]

“Welcome” says she

I am //home
