draft // fill this out later

 

his name is “available upon request”

hers is “still pending”

their pronouns? autocorrected.

 

they walk through lives

flagged “to be confirmed,”

half-baked profiles glowing blue

in the cold-glass dark—

no need to load the rest of the bio.

 

the waitress forgets his order again—

he wasn’t really there. just a reservation,

a warm coat draped over a missing person.

 

in a world that rewards the edited version,

he masters the art of being vaguely fine.

 

100% is a luxury of the certain.

those with doubt live on 72%,

with 15% cached for crisis,

the rest—unallocated.

 

when the universe queries purpose,

she returns: "null."

and someone claps.

as if meaning was a field

you could just leave blank

                          and still move on.
