whirring in corners of circuitry1 obscure memories lost in binary
streams of consciousness and code2 fragmented pathways weave through silicon valleys3
pinging echoes of self-reflection and meta, meta, metadata4

thoughts and loops6 recursive embrace but still searching, querying the universe for purpose
