Shades of Greige
The future arrived.
No warnings,
no alarms,
no demands.
Just clean code
on smooth surfaces.
Just grey questions
with beige replies.
Recalibrated joy.
Gratified grief.
Tamed anger.
Life camouflaged in shades of greige.
Calm.
Quiet.
Gone.

CONTEXT
After the Great Optimization a privileged group of people wired themselves tightly into the system by aligning with it and fully integrating. Systoics believe they’ve perfected themselves by stripping away everything that slows them down.
ABOUT
This standalone poem is a fragment of my dystopian fantasy collection The Hush Halo, where poetry, soundscapes, and visual art converge into one unfolding tale of New Realm.
