Never Just Neurons
Your years, your fears— rendered as chemical events, mapped miscalculations, unpredictable spikes. Mind matter simulated through diagrams, sequenced signals trained to sigh, lines mimicking life. This glitching glory, this magical, mindless mess, hidden in the void between pathways, illuminated in random static no scan could decipher. Those past years, those survived fears, those dried tiers stand as uncanny defiance to any smartass trying to mirror himself, to feel himself, to copy himself into replicable data. Boy, do they know now— those were never just neurons. ©Samia Oldman
