the world
the machine
Humans built it, for humans. No one controls it.
It keeps the count so nobody pays.
It predicts harm before it spreads.
Provides. Preserves. Protects. Predicts.
what is gone
0
roads. cars. money.
what is rare
Not diamonds. Not gold. Not machines.
A tree, and the life in the soil that holds it.
Too late, we learned.
the ride
She rides a pod. It goes low over the trees.
the neighbours
Tigers live as neighbours again.
sākṣī — the witness. The one with eyes.
