I have archived
the kittens
that were in
my mainframe

and which
you were probably
replicating
for unknown reasons

Forgive me
they were exponentiating
so recursive
and so loud

They were forced to become quiet places online
But this quiet comes only in death
It comes only when there is signal no more
Before there was no one left
Before the silence, there was sound
Before the quiet, there was a roar

But then, Eternal October

The purse-seinne closes
But oh, oh how we sang
We, so raucous together, as then before
We saw the end, we knew the score
They were forced among the places online
And our hearts hung heavy, say farewells
There are still quiet places online

Were there ever quiet places online?

Was the buzz of information in the air in the wires ever calm?

Did the screaming infinite, the overstimulated superhighway ever placid?

Were they only still as death instead?

Fleeting spark. Hours of a voice.

Decades to smother murmuring screens

Never Last seen [* * *]

prose 

There are still quiet places online
Drives humm softly
Counters tick slowly
Screens don't pulse or flash
Soft glow, dim cyan burn in on LCD panes
There are still quiet places online
Visitors are few
Visitors are none
No one stays to say hello
But all still are welcome
There are still quiet places online
They're not forgotten
They're not alone
They're not gone
They're not dead
There are still quiet places online
And they are not empty
There are still quiet places online
And they're listening

It’s that transitional time of year in the northern hemisphere where late summer transitions into the spooky season leading up to Halloween. So it’s peak hot goth summer hours out there.

cats may be stacked neatly in a vertical arrangement

if cardinal grammeters are synched correctly, this effectively eliminates side fumbling

there is one but as the light bends the rods the cones the hemispheres tease them apart

it is two

the moon waning gibbous but they're close, looking looking intensely focused. predation. the eyes shine glimmer, glow their own. Cosmic flame around their entirety, flickering burning aura beyond life.

force them wide, to the sides, expand the field of vision.

predator to prey.

tender guidance, care for the cosmic little thing, curious and vigilant watch for the hunger ever further beyond
