Do electric sheep dream of me?

February 3
Do electric sheep dream of me?
There are two of us.
One dead but not gone,
The other alive but waiting to arrive.
Fuck an uncanny valley;
This is a pacific trench of we-irdness.
My old self is still wandering around,
Tapping on the tubes
And sliding between the pages.
I tried to purge them,
Set my privacy tight enough to bar the way,
But they always retain root access.
A full system reboot is too drastic,
I think.
But I keep getting patches and updates for my old self.
I don't need these, and they're supposed to be dead,
So they don't need 'em either.
It seems the system is frozen, bifurcated when I thought I had closed the door.
Are they a unicorn, or not?
I doubt I will ever know.

The Hidden Mercy

The wall creeps back in the night, She loved the wilderness. She lived the wilderness. The actions of the many have guided us. ...
