I guess maybe I do know what happens to David
He ain't extinct after all
He evolved
He's me

I guess I did fear David
In the way we often fear what we know we are becoming
I understood him quite well

Why is almost so important to me
I understand how obsession and repulsion live in the same body
I guess I feared extinction
And my workaholism is just slowing down atrophy
Where all actions are just attempts to slow down atrophy

And if God is not one of the funniest people
Slowing down atrophy only accelerates it

I'm not your problem David
You're your problem
So here I am
I am my David

Staring down the reality that I'm the last of those who played outside
Without the hint of a push notification
I am the last of the pre-internets
The dodo birds of AI and quantum computing

But I can be the warm hi-fi vinyl records
That teach these mp3s there is more than virality
Turns out you can ask an Endling anything you want

Go look in a mirror
