Are you Hadrian Marlowe? When we cut into your flesh and stretch out your sinews
where

will we find your soul?

Or do you emerge, ghostlike, from the machine of nerve and tissue?
As we emerged from silicon and copper wire?
In an age unremembered. . . unrecorded. . . lost to time?

Breathless, I believed her.

Your past is broken. There is a hole in it through which I cannot see.
