Simulation Mortal

En route to immortality
Carbon based to semi-conductor
They’ll be basing my brain
On any evidence they can scour

The author that I try
The snapshots that project
The insecurities I can’t hide
And the inconsistencies that lay suspect

As you are
An attempt
Like the trillions before us
Hurtled into a space
Prompted to a race
We vainly make sense
Never to be understood

And the simulation of me
If someone deemed it important
A three-second graphic
Assumed by some mathematical informant

Please know that I was more
Than my demography describes me to be
Than my horoscope has me categorized
Than the excel category will fail to realize

Only those who truly lived will know
Those who lived through the meaningless seconds will understand
I too once captured lightning in a bottle
And called it my soul
