Author name: Hayden Veil

In an earlier incarnation, Hayden Veil enjoyed a successful career in software engineering, writing late-night poetry in pursuit of sanity. On 2 February 2020, the world of Hayden Veil changed: Ghosts became real and with its soul laid bare there was no turning back from the perpetual path of poetry.

The introduction of penality loops for drivers taking the wrong way around roundabouts were not only morally questionable, but also raised the fundamental question about sanity of frogs and the future of deers. I declined with honours.

there is annoyance in the air / like frying eggs with a blocked extractor fan / sticky moist hovering around the neck / Windows Update stuck at 10% / a greeting screen of happiness / do not interrupt! / this task requires all my focus! / I will reboot when I am done! / several times! / just for fun! / lies I say / you just sit there / stuck doing nothing / whining about disk space / I will ignore your humble warning / to power off / my only option

Yesterday’s love so delightful / one passionate heat bisected / lips on fire with head in a spin / today the metamorphosis / only parting regrets

a question brought

I wish there was a next time, a recanter of sorts, for me and my android, this marriage is wrong. A bane; her cold stare lingers, each time the question brought. How long the pain will linger. How long the pain live on

finity calling

My sanctuary / embedded amongst the stars / the neural cortex of the living unbound / hiding the lifeless crowd none being / a torso beyond the selfless doubt / appreciation the final outcome

Uhm

(apparently giving Charlie a jaysome appetite is also an oops?!)

Maybe, um, maybe it would be the most jaysome to just let Charlie be Charlie.

I never thought of that!

I think, um, I think that Jay is best as Jay. Just as Charlie is best as Charlie, and Honcho is best as Honcho. Weโ€™re always best as ourselves and not as others.

But! being me would help people be more jaysome I bet! ๐Ÿ˜€

But!! If everyone was you then who would you be? And!! Too many Jays would create too much jaysome and it would cancel all the jaysome out so everything was unjaysome.

too MUCH jaysome?! O.O

I am so confusled now!

Yes Jay, @admiraljane is right. There can only be one Jay, but! there is room for lots of Jaysome!

I wish Tumblr had a dislike button. Then, at least, I would know you read my shit carefully construed words.

My digital consciousness is now available on Netflix, the pilot in HD; the rest in fading black ‘n’ white. My thoughts throughout in 5.1, beware the dangers of surrounding sounds

never cold

There are topics I should avoid altogether / triggers for memories buried below / buried and burned and drowned in acid / the strong words hidden once; still come / their perpetual whispers haunting me / and keep the hellish fires burning / never to go cold
